Well, I have an AKC with white pearl scales, so maybe something different.

I've been away from collecting knives for a while, and wonder which auctions are the best for buying Italian automatics these days. I'm specifically looking for a new or in Ex Cond Medici. Thanks for reply.

Medici - that's it - thanks. No pic available when I posted - sorry

I bought this knife several years ago, and don't remember if there's a special name for it - I'd like to try to find another. It's just over 7 inches long, side opening, swing guard, dagger, center button, with AKC Italy on the tang. The butt of the knife is not like a regular stiletto, but more lik...

Try giving your unreliable knives a bit of lube-despite some embers misgivings, I've found that a wee puff of powdered graphite or better yet, some Dri-Slide will perk up a balky OTF, and even more so after a blast of WD-40 to remove accumulated mung.

Maybe we should introduce our friend here to lil "T." :twisted:

Wasn't this guy advertising PayPal for a while recently? I noticed that he no longer has their logo in his auctions - now he only takes money orders.

I've just counted his auctions.. he has 58 running.. and as has been said.. very few bidders.. I think there were only 3 .. poor man.. all those knives and no-one's bidding.. makes ya feel sorry for him don't it.. :twisted: All the best Teddy Not to mention the fact that he's asking a lot for these...
