Re: tang stamp "6"

porkchop I have also pondered over the number stamps on italians . I have a knife marked 2 ,seen a stag stamped 4 and now your examples are marked 6. I wondered if it was a mark to denote scale material for a particular knife . Are your scales materials the same on your two examples ? Can you post a...

Re: Switchblade Identification help INOX

LaneLander Hope I have understood this correctly ,apologies if not . If the knife just fires open without pressing the button ,the sear pin could be badly worn and not fitting the hole properly . However it could be a few things ,rocker assembly moved or twisted ,dirt in the blade hole where the pin...

prober996

I really like the look of it ,looks razor sharp .ATS34 steel with a hawksbill blade .
Wonder if its purpose was for cutting parachute lines or seatbelts etc ?
I have never seen them posted here so thanks for the look ,definitely different to the norm .

Re: Switchblade Identification help INOX

LaneLander I cant help with a specific maker as they are usually stamped ,Latama Edwin Jay etc but I think this knife was made in" Maniago "Italy by the cottage industry that thrived there . However that Patent number could help pin it down a bit more to someone who has a better knowledge on these V...

Some were tourist pieces and others older were of higher quality .The inox just means rustfree or stainless. Hope you can show the whole knife ,I have one with a Gondola but withou...
