This is a knife that I wasn’t that fussed about to begin with but it has become one of my favourites and I wouldn’t part with it, it’s a one piece spring with no D stamp but a pick lock.
I’ve had various expert opinions and although it’s thought to be another Mauro mario knife I was told it was made by Angelo campolin sr I asked Angelo the grandson and he said possibly or by another craftsman in the same shop.
What I find most rewarding about this hobby isn’t just the beautiful hand crafted knives but the history behind them.
I may only have a few and keep showing them but I just like to show them when I can sorry to be boring.

Re: M Italy 8”
It's a beautiful piece Joe! I think there's some confusion on this M. ITALY over INOX in an oval. I think it comes in that Angelo Campolin the Grandfather, worked for (or with?) Mauro Mario. As I understand it, Grandpa Campolin had the tooling to produce the larger sizes (13"?). I had posted a B SVOBODY and Angelo Jr. commented that his Grandfather worked for Svobody, but only made the 11" and 13". We also consider B SVOBODY/SVOBODA Mauro Mario productions, so I think what he was trying to say was his Grandfather produced the knives under Mauro Mario's company name. Thus the confusion of whether a Mauro Mario product or a Angelo Campolin product. Much like Renzo Pascotto makes knives for A.G.A. Campolin. Please forgive me for thinking when I'm not use to it lol.

Hey mate
Yeah I understand what you mean someone else told me campolin sr may have made it too, I don’t know I think we will never truly know who made what, but yes I think it may have been used by lots of different craftsman working under Mauro mario
