KERPER 13" Kriss

Any info welcome. note The tang st...

Wasp Dagger Grind+ LATAMA Bayonet
Hi again , I thought I'd post both my wasps together so you can check the differences. The locking tabs are quite different as is the firing button is a little
larger on the Latama. The Latama back spring is the typical 5mm but the mystery knife is 4mm. Hope you like.

Re: Wasp Dagger grind
Sorry to confuse (Chris) My whereabouts. I actually live in Spain and purchased this knife directly from Italy. I will try find out the city. Also contacted Walt from Latama, His opinion is that- "The thinness and material used, brass, of the top bolsters and low position of the safety indicate it w...

Wasp Dagger grind
Hi everyone, I found this little beauty recently. Its similar to the Latama wasp body however it has Lock tab like the Frosolone, the spring also has a curve cut into in so it misses the sear when closing. I actually haven't come across a real (vintage Italian) dagger grind blade, There is no tang s...

MAURO MARIO
Hi there everyone, I'm new here but an avid collector of Italian auto's. Could someone tell if Mauro Mario ever used Rams Horn on his Knives's? I purchased an 8" picklock recently, but looks like the scales may have been either replaced or removed and put back.
Thanks Dave.
Thanks Dave.
