Very nice knife LaneLander 8) The blade could do with a bit of shaping and touching up carefully ,and the horn scales would polish up very well ,but that is owners choice . .Some people leave them be .My picklock example needed some blade work ,and the top scale had been pryed off when I got it ,the...

I really like the look of it ,looks razor sharp .ATS34 steel with a hawksbill blade .
Wonder if its purpose was for cutting parachute lines or seatbelts etc ?
I have never seen them posted here so thanks for the look ,definitely different to the norm .

LaneLander I cant help with a specific maker as they are usually stamped ,Latama Edwin Jay etc but I think this knife was made in" Maniago "Italy by the cottage industry that thrived there . However that Patent number could help pin it down a bit more to someone who has a better knowledge on these V...

One of the venezias I have personally never seen with that ringpull release . Scales are black horn ,bolsters nickle silver bayonet blade ,knife looks to be from the 1950s . Lovely to have the patent number and I really like your Gondola stamp . This will be a very rare knife imho ,but wait for othe...

Here is another type of a venezia stamped switchblade LaneLander
This one is a bobc( button open button close system ) that has the venezia mark with the Gondola .
I have one similar (top pic )but without the gondola stamp

Hello and welcome LaneLander Could do with a picture of the whole knife ,but it is a Venezia or gondola stamped knife . Some were tourist pieces and others older were of higher quality .The inox just means rustfree or stainless. Hope you can show the whole knife ,I have one with a Gondola but withou...

Sorry to resurrect this older thread but thought I would post this in memory of my mate David "TRYKER ",who like many others that I miss here is now no longer with us .

Beautiful pair of pistols Ron .

Very nice LGustin .
Like both examples ,but the one in ramshorn is right up my alley ,would love to have one .

Thanks for posting them .

I was also unsure aswell FP as to how this knife worked ,the diagram jerryk25 posted is excellent .

Thanks Ken for the message and glad you have added this to that awesome collection of Frenchies you have .

Ken
So sorry for posting this ,can ask mods to remove the post if you like .
I just thought it was such a beautiful knife and was amazed to see the box .
Really glad you won it mate ,its fantastic .

Of course Luke .
No tab ...so it must be a bobc .

Yes the.italian style switchblades definitely were Erik ,and Tarry Levigne added his mark .
Dont know about this style of knife though ,looks very French in appearance ,someone will know and tell us hopefully .

Not sure TMD ,never owned one ,but admired them from afar ,thought it may have been a bobc .?

Someone will know and chime in hopefully .

Cet magnifique Eric ,and very ooh la la
It has that French panache .
Hope your well my mate .
