Re: Highest Switchblade Price

This reminds me of something funny...

I ran into a guy selling a sweet bumblebee Armando Beltrame on eBay not long ago. He listed it as a "Wall Decoration" and intentionally misspelled Armando's name! eBay didn't catch on either! :lol:

So, guy takes a wooden serving tray, turns it sideways and ...

Re: Orang Zaib Picklock

He does good work. I have one of his knives that he did with direction from Dave S. in the art of kris blade patterns! I had him build me one a couple years back and throw a diamond button on it!

Re: Dolphins Maniago Falcon 11" Italian Stiletto Ring Pull



Same knife as the AKC version of the French Cartailler Delux, but without finger guards.


Certainly does share similarities...

Re: Dolphins Maniago Falcon 11" Italian Stiletto Ring Pull

Nice Falcon dude! I don't have one of those but I did get one of the "Shark" models when they started making them. It was early 2024, I think.

I actually asked Francesco if they could make me a Shark in Ram's Horn. Before it shipped to the U.S. he said it took three knives to make the one Ram's ...

Re: Renzo Pascotto 2025


Beautiful! It’s great to see Renzo Pascotto still at it! Did Lucio Di Bon distribute these? Does it have the “Dolphins” etch on the back?


No Dolphins stamp on this one. I picked up a RP wasp a couple years back and that one does have a Dolphins stamp on the back side. This one just has "2025 7 ...

Re: Renzo Pascotto 2025


Outstanding! At first glance, knowing it is a Pascatto, I knew it would be quite hefty. Is that a pivot screw or pivot pin that I see?

Jim


That's a good question and I had to look again myself. It's reminiscent of the pivot screw on the batwings and other "heavy frame" swingers from Pascotto ...

Renzo Pascotto 2025

I present here, for everyone's review, my latest Pascotto knife. It's a 9" hunter style picklock in light horn with a beautiful coffee like streak on the front! It's snappy and heavy as lead, but instead of lead it's solid nickel silver! It's number 7 of 8 knives he made in this footprint. Please ...

Yeah, 99% of the image hosts are exactly as you say brother, no argument there. But IMGBB is a little different in that they don't compress or pixelate your images, or overlay them with "watermarks", or force anyone viewing the ...

Another note, for everyone really, is you can use an Image Host for your pics and then direct link them in your post via the message editor. I use "IMGBB" which is a FREE host site for basic image hosting (up to 20 or 25mb per image). By doing it that way you can circumnavigate most image size ...

Re: Dolphins again

I have a few. I even have a Dolphins Pascotto Flatguard Wasp I got back in 2024, I think. It's super nice!

My most recent acquisition was a couple of the A.Rosa Wasps. The quality of materials is there but they could've used a bit more time on the polisher. The edges weren't as smooth as they ...

Re: New US OTF


Again, they are bringing parts from China into the US, and assembling them here. Importing switchblade parts is illegal.
They are bringing in the parts so they don't get caught.


I bought a Vipertek Ghost Hornet OTF and when I received it, it didn't have the blade installed!! :lol:
