Re: Heads up swingguard collectors

Mr. Beltrame - I just wanted to say “thank you” to you and your family for making great knives that a man can be proud to own.

Not trying to hijack the thread, just saying Thank You.

Re: Prize of my collection

Here is a pic from a 7” I got recently. I believe these are Renzo Beltrame knives.

Re: Honest Seller or Not?

Here is what you have: a relatively modern knife, rescaled with no safety, and a replaced spring. The spring is not technically correct for this style knife. The only "transitional" features it has are fully lined front bolsters and a swedge grind on the blade. "Transitional" is a term that can not...

Honest Seller or Not?

I purchased the following knife this week. It was advertised as a Transitional Italian. I know (and knew before I ordered it) that it had been rescaled. The spring looks like a piece of wire as opposed the the "normal" type spring I an used to seeing in new models. Not sure it that is a repair piece...

I was pretty sure people would claim they were different sizes after I posted the pic. Line you said, cool illusion.

Re: New Additions

Nice additions, regarding the knife on the left, it looks like the stamp is "J" over"INOX". Is that correct? Overall, it look similar to one I have that was fairly common at one point. Key differences from mine are the stamp is "Masserin & DeNardo" over "Inox" over "Maniago", mine is a shell puller...

Re: Not sure they correct name!

Here are some earless bolster humpbacks in comparison to the one you were asking about (in the photos as well). The Humpbacks have brass liners and the FBR has steel liners. On the back side of the FBR, it doesn't look like the ears were ground off, or they removed them first and did a very nice jo...
