Don’t know if any of you spotted it, but that’s an old WaltCo Safe-T-Sheath knife behind that Frostwood handle dagger. That’s a Taiwanese paratrooper knife sandwiched between the damascus leverlock and the gravity knife.

I got this curio cabinet from some family last week as a house warming gift after my recent move. I finally got to display my switches, at least the bulk of them, in this beautiful thing. First shelf contains all my genuine Italian knives along with a few Chinese knockoffs, a 15” manual Lockback fro...

I’ll take one!

I’d say the faux ivory Rizzy would be worth about $150 in that condition. Would be slightly more if the safety was functional. The black Bird’s Head Rizzy is probably worth $200 or more. The Medici is likely worth $175 or something like that in that condition. Would be much more if it had a working ...

Found these on Perry Knifeworks. https://www.perryknifeworks.com/item--milano-8-leverlock-shell-puller-automatic-knife-wood-3-5-polish/ It says it’s “Milano Italian-Style” and they’re $19.99 so they’re obviously not Italian. Shell pullers have become rather elusive in recent years. It’s nice to see ...

Nice work my friend!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Az3e5PGlYfw&pp=ygURZWRnZSBjbyBsZXZlcmxvY2s%3D I’m confused by how exactly he broke this knife. He’s saying he broke the “bar” but it appears to me it’s the pivot pin he’s talking about. The bar I think would be the locking tab that holds the blade closed. How the fuck d...

I guess PVK still has them as those are the highest prices I have seen. Never bought from them, but when the China made Magos came out and they sold them for $140 claiming they were from Italy, they lost a future customer in me....The 11" Frank B 2.0 are $60+ more than anyone else.... PVK has been ...

A lot of autos have been showing up for sale on Amazon in recent years. I saw these Russian swinguards along with those Mikov-style Chinese leverlocks the other day.

Always thought this one looked like a Pakistan knife. I got a couple Pakistan leverlock switchblades with a similar lever and bolsters.

So I’m sure you’ve seen all the Chinese “AKC” variant stilettos that have been flooding the market. It’s gotten so bad that AKC themselves are now having certain knives manufactured in China like the Roma swinguards and those curved stilettos under a banner called AKC World. One of those “if you can...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BuD8D-X56jo&t=5s&pp=ygUNRW5vY2ggbWFsaWt5ZQ%3D%3D There has to be at least 180 knives here! Has switchblades from Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, France, Spain, and the US! I wonder if this is the same collection that the YouTuber “picktheblueone” had shown years...

Managed to get a couple more pictures of the knife along with some of the others that were in the same lot and may add to why I believe it to be Chinese knock off. Nice stag on the one and they all work good but really don't look like Italian quality to me and no brass liners on any of them. Actual...

That knife needs taken to a professional. It will likely need to be taken apart and have the spring and rivets replaced. May need new scales as well.

Where do they sell Contini knives? Don’t recall seeing any on the sites where I usually shop for switchblades.
