Tom,
Your Due Buoi is a first run model. I have 11 of 15. Here on TalkBlade we organized the purchase, through Michele I believe, so it is sort of a forum knife although not etched as such.

Re: brazilian horn
Back in 2007 - 2008 we did an unofficial TalkBlade forum knife that was a ProTech Godfather with real horn handles; the "Godfather for stiletto collectors". A year or two later at Atlanta BLADE I met and introduced myself to Dave W., the owner of ProTech. Dave told me that the ProTech crew had not w...

Re: brazilian horn
Jerry - never mind the hour or the drugs consumed - that was an excellent post.
Bill - and they probably did. I imagine the scrap rate while working horn into scales is rather high?

Re: Funny Stuff
Jerry - regarding your comment: "Reminds me of the old Gahan Wilson comics in old Playboy magazines". Gahan Wilson spoke at the University of Maryland in the early '70's when I was a student there. He was fascinating in that most of the time he came across as normal and articulate. But when someone ...

St Patricks Day
Up until the pandemic, I was staffed and doing the weekly flights to and from the Boston area for several years. I learned that there, St. Patricks Day is not celebrated for a day, but for about 2 weeks!
John (and others) - any St Patricks Day stories?

Re: How many times a week you give your collection a look?
"Flickin while Clickin" :D :D I do sort of the same thing. Typically I have 1 - 3 from my collection on my desk at any time and rotate every few days or so. I have been working from home since the start of the pandemic so I spend a good bit of time at my desk. Right now my desk is adorned with a Pro...

That's a great point, Chris. A search there can answer a wide variety of switchblade related questions (as can a search here).

Re: Gun talk forum?
twobit, the issue isn't that this is knife forum, it is that we need clarification on Italian laws.

For truly handmade examples, don't forget about the Sardinian makers.

Re: Identifying & Pricing My Father’s Collection
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't remember counterfeits being an issue in that timeframe.

Re: Identifying & Pricing My Father’s Collection
If you measure the length of the Godfather / Godson we will tell you which one it is.
Now for the potentially difficult news; some of those knives have been counterfeited. Do you know when they were purchased? If so, that could help confirm that they are real.
