Honestly, I was going to ask if it was a genuine Mikov, as I've certainly never ...

What a beauty!

I believe these were all made by Falcon. They were made for several different companies, but they are all the same knife. All the Buck 100 copies had differences but these don't. Browning sold them with their name and said made in Italy....

Ahh, ok. That makes sense. Another case of confusion ...

I was checking some old pictures. These are the manual ones with different tang stamps...


I remember when the Speed Hunters were introduced, Angelo described them as an "Auto style of the famous Falcon Angel." As time went by, I noticed the same style was made by MANY different makers. So, I'm ...

Thank you, hearandgone!

Here's a 9" (23cm) M. ITALY over INOX in an oval picklock. Talk about mismatched horn, between front and back!...

Very nice! Brass hardware on an old picklock seems very uncommon. We don’t see a whole lot of them.

Thank you, Tom!

Thanks, Eric!

Hi Chris,
Beautiful set of knives. The horn has aged nicely and I wonder why the shell wrap has a red dot safety and not the horn scaled knives.
Wicked cool advertising for the knives. Are they posters of magazine advertisements?
Thanks for posting.

Thank you, John! Maybe adding the fake ads ...

Thank YOU, Greg!

Wow, that duel blade is pretty unique. I'm sure I've never seen one before. The standard Mikov Predator uses 2 side by side kicksprings. That duel blade doesn't use 4, does it?

Happy Birthday, Eric (GTS21)! Enjoy your day!

Thanks, Eric!
Thanks, hearandgone! I have more than a few, but far less than many!
