TalkBlade.Info Knife Forums

Someone offered to sell this knife to me for $30 and I'm trying to decide whether or not to get it. The seller says that he bought it when he was in the Philippines. Anybody wager a guess as to what it might be worth or have any other information about this type of bali?

Thanks!

Sounds like it would be a fun trip Fishtail!

Of the three rizzutos I've acquired so far not one of them has the "step bolster" style that you guys are talking about the japanese versions having. Is it true the step bolster style rizzutos are generally of higher quality? In what way?

You mean like one of these?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjSTQ3ujCEY 8) Yup, just like one of those. It arrived in the mail today. Blade sits deep in the handle and fires perfect every time, but it looks like it has been sharpened before. For 30 bucks I've got no real complaints though. The guy ...

Great snag BTB!! Once you get the rizzy bug... :lol: I think I saw that one on ebay. Those flat grind/swedge ones are the nicest of all the button o/c rizzutos. The ones I've seen have had kick springs from nicer square stock instead of round piano wire, slimmer trimmed scales and a better finish. ...

I bought another rizzuto that was delivered today, and I've got another one coming in the mail. I guess I'm hooked :mrgreen: The one that showed up today is actually very similar in size and color to the first one, but I like the blade, guard style, and handle thickness on this one much better. In a...

Thanks Jeff! I think only number 7 might be a real Jaguar though. I think a couple of those might be Jaguar "knock-offs" much like the one they are selling at bladeplay (posted link)...I'm not sure though. They appear to be missing some logos/writing on the tang that a real Jaguar should have. I'm t...

I'm looking for a "real" Jaguar brand bali. There is a bali selling at bladeplay with the Jaguar label but I'm skeptical as to whether or not it is a real one....

Is that the real deal? If no, where is a good place to buy a Jaguar Classic?

I'm in the market for a new bali myself. From the looks of those prices I would guess you purchased from Bladeplay, right? I'm considering a Jaguar Classic because I've heard they are good, and my question is whether or not the Jaguar they sell on that site is actually the original Jaguar or a cheap...

A rizzy thread that isn't mine, woohoo!! Great score on that white one BTB, it is different in it's safety & bail placement, I'd love to compare it to the ones I have in that size. That style of guards isn't seen much in the larger sized ones either 8) Thanks Gunner! In that link Tom posted above I...

Well I'm definitely happy with what I paid for mine. I own a couple Italian Frank B. Swinguards along with several other decent knives that I like also, but the collection just didn't seem like it could ever be complete without a Rizzuto.

Wow, those are impressive. I really like the one in the first few pics.

lol, thanks for the info. It was listed for sale on ebay, and I figured that ebay would eventually close the auction (since its an auto knife) so I sent the seller my email. Sure enough, ebay closed the sale and the seller responded to my email. He took my first offer :) I can't seem to find any pic...

I just got a white 11" Rizzuto Estileto Milano and I would like to get as much info about it as I can find. I've never owned or even held a real original rizzy until I got this one, but I've read a lot about them. I was very suprised to find that this one is not a "cheapo" at all, and actually very ...
