Looking forward to having a look at your knife, @Belmont800.

Good morning all, Thank you so much for the feedback on my previous query over the past week or so. I have yet another intriguing question - why did flick knife manufacturers back in the day make so many different sizes from short sword lenght to minute? I can understand smallest size being a novelt...

Respect is a vintage stiletto with flush scales and bolsters made of good quality materials with a spring that has survived all abuse over the years.

Greetings, Lance. Thank you for the warm welcome. haha! I already feel this obsession and sickness sinking in. I am excited what you tell me, but I have no desire to sell this knife. Even being small makes it more desirable to me. Just curios why it is so small. That is a very nice FBR photograph. T...

Thank you, JimBrown257. Seems to me many different manufacturers made flick knives back in the day.

Thank you, JimBrown257. I initially thought of Frank Beltrame, but he is a more of a "modern" flick knife maker.

Do you perhaps have dates these FBRs were in production?

Good morning all,

I have decided to keep this flick knife. Seems it very rare as no one has ever heard of FBR.

Plus the small size is great. Just need to put an edge on this INOX blade and try to make sharp.

Thank you, JulesVane. I have managed to upload a collage of my flick knife. Granted, not the best quality, but best I can do for now. Photograph is further up on this thread.

My apologies for the bad quality photograph.

I shall merely sharpen and not molest in any way, TRYKER. Thank you for telling me, but where can I find out more on FBR?

Good news is that this flick knife is growing on me and the more people I ask, the more agree size is good as it is easily concealed with full look and functionality of a bigger flick knife. Thank you for the clarity of soft steel used, Luke_of_Mass. I do want it sharper, even if not razor. Currentl...

It is not too bad a knife, but does not excite me the way I had hoped. Photographs made the scales look darker and overall larger. I will see if I can sharpen blade to see if it can hold. If not, free to a good home!

Unfortunately, I cannot upload photographs of my new flick knife. Website keeps on telling me attachment(s) too large. Having received this flick knife only yesterday morning, let me just say it is extremely small. Almost six inches long with blade open. Blade does not appear to be stainless steel a...

A "Switchblade" to me is what most other countries refer to as a "otf/Out The Front". Different strokes for different folks.
