Sorry...no I don't.

Thanks Thom and Eric! Eric,,,I've got to figure out something to help support this knife addiction! lol

Here's a piece I feel very fortunate to have. An 11" (28cm) Folgore Picklock. A beautiful and most necessary re-scale by our Bill DeShivs... https://i.imgur.com/UFjyddk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mt7ecvf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pU7FWOB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6OvRGpj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/X4zXTwo.jpg...

I could be mistaken, but in this case, I thought Thom was the buyer.

A beauty of a beast!

Is there a before picture? I probably missed it, or forgot I seen it. Bill is being modest using the term "worn" lol. Here are a few before pics from the person I acquired it from. Much like the after Bill's restoration pics don't do them justice, the following pics don't truly show how bad shape t...

Here's a little 6" Omega Import Co. Shell Wrap Picklock that our own Bill DeShivs did an amazing restoration on. Literally brought it back from the dead.

What book is that in mate ?

...just, hanging around these forums and using the search bar as intended. When any subject comes up, I can spend hours looking through pages and pages of info on the subject. Even though things are slow, there's still great old posts to search with tons of info.
