Re: Frenchi94 switchblade collection

Yet another new one :!: OTF "Le Superoto" created in 1962 made in France by Douris-Chastel. Really powerful spring, and a small mechanism at the top left, by pushing the lever you tighten the blade to remove the blade play that most otf have. https://i.ibb.co/jG8Yq6n/IMG-9495.jpg https://i.ibb.co/82...

Re: Frenchi94 switchblade collection

I love WWII rifles with black steel and checkered walnut grips, like a 1911 Colt. Gov. That maltese and grip is amazing. I had once mentioned to Walt (Latama LLC) abo...
