Jeff this one fires very strong, a new run from 2020.....
Rithvich I don’t remember Angelo mentioning Maestro Pascotto in the description this time or offering these with that stamp on his site. Good score!

Re: What happened to autoknife.com

In this case I wonder to whom we can attribute the 9” swingers, Maltese lockbacks, and other different styles stamped by AGA that are almost certainly not the work of either Frank B or RP. From recent correspondence with Sig Beltrames daughter he is producing 9” picklocks as recently as a few weeks ...

Real gorgeous knife Thom! I’d leave it just like that.

Re: Frank B picklocks

Just in from Maniago. Nice matching horn, full brass lined, N/S bolsters and hardware, flat button and safety, ~4mm spring/blade.. Simply stamped Frank B over Italy. All tight and centered, kicks like mule and locks up solid and straight. It’s a very nice quality picklock for a very nice price. Bett...

Re: 45cm Renzo Pascotto Swinger

I think the price is good, if it were any horn I’d probably jump on it. Curious why someone in possession of such a knife would resort to listing it there though.. I imagine there would be plenty of interest either here, SD, or any number of FB groups. Does it seem suspicious or am I overthinking it?

Maybe the M is for Maniago?

Re: Various Fish

Nice collection! I’ve never seen one like the Inox ring pull. Gorgeous horn on that one too.

Re: What happened to autoknife.com

No offense to Walt, he just can’t sell me what he doesn’t have.. I would much rather buy directly from him and in person but I guess that’s why I’m sitting here without a nice nine incher.

Re: What happened to autoknife.com

I looked at his site a few times really itching to pull the trigger on a couple Walts 9” in nice b/w horn.. checked here for reviews and found them mostly bad plus some of his crazy rants so I held off. I guess for anything he had that I wanted someone more trustworthy will likely have it at some po...

Re: AGA 10 & 11 inch picklocks

Those are sweet 13's Stu. Is the one on the right from early the 2000's run? I love how the horn is rounded on the sides like vintage knives. Yup, the one on the right is from the 2003s. The more rounded horn definitely feels better than some of the blockier slabs I own. A real pleasure to open and...

Those are beautiful Ron, I love the bone-esque horn myself.. here’s a couple 13” AGA picklocks in a sympathetic vein.

Re: Frank B picklocks

Were the bolsters N/S or stainless? They look stainless don’t they.. maybe it’s some kind of new fangled phone camera filter effect. All the color looks a bit washed out. I saw the same pic posted on the official fb website so I think they’re legit. Hard to believe he’d make a picklock with stainle...
