Re: due buoi
Allen - nice photos! Was the Atlanta show where you had to try several Due Buois the one where the US Due Buoi representative exhibited substandard behavior? Ian - those Due Buoi leverlocks are extremely hard to find on this side of the Atlantic as well. I made a huge blunder by not grabbing one dur...

Re: due buoi
Tom - I can explain both. The Godfather is the "Godfather for stiletto collectors". It was sort of a forum knife, like the Due Buoi. We did it in the 2007 - 8 timeframe. Take a look at my comment in the Brazilian horn thread from a couple of days ago. Likewise with the Mikov, sort of a forum knife t...

Re: due buoi
Tom,
Your Due Buoi is a first run model. I have 11 of 15. Here on TalkBlade we organized the purchase, through Michele I believe, so it is sort of a forum knife although not etched as such.

Re: brazilian horn
Back in 2007 - 2008 we did an unofficial TalkBlade forum knife that was a ProTech Godfather with real horn handles; the "Godfather for stiletto collectors". A year or two later at Atlanta BLADE I met and introduced myself to Dave W., the owner of ProTech. Dave told me that the ProTech crew had not w...

Re: brazilian horn
Jerry - never mind the hour or the drugs consumed - that was an excellent post.
Bill - and they probably did. I imagine the scrap rate while working horn into scales is rather high?

Re: Funny Stuff
Jerry - regarding your comment: "Reminds me of the old Gahan Wilson comics in old Playboy magazines". Gahan Wilson spoke at the University of Maryland in the early '70's when I was a student there. He was fascinating in that most of the time he came across as normal and articulate. But when someone ...

St Patricks Day
Up until the pandemic, I was staffed and doing the weekly flights to and from the Boston area for several years. I learned that there, St. Patricks Day is not celebrated for a day, but for about 2 weeks!
John (and others) - any St Patricks Day stories?

Re: How many times a week you give your collection a look?
"Flickin while Clickin" :D :D I do sort of the same thing. Typically I have 1 - 3 from my collection on my desk at any time and rotate every few days or so. I have been working from home since the start of the pandemic so I spend a good bit of time at my desk. Right now my desk is adorned with a Pro...

Re: Sharper Deals auction site gone?
That's a great point, Chris. A search there can answer a wide variety of switchblade related questions (as can a search here).

Re: Gun talk forum?
twobit, the issue isn't that this is knife forum, it is that we need clarification on Italian laws.
