what did he go on vacation ?

I always liked the looks of the Italian humpback stiletto although I was never crazy about the little coil springs they stuffed under the front bolster makes you wonder why the coil spring won out over the leaf spring as far a production went ? much nicer and faster opening in my opinion .

a few more pictures

not a mini but still an INTER Rostfrei stamped 9" leaf spring fired humpback patent number 77431 just got it a few days ago .

here's my two a 20cm & 23cm in cracked ice both have slip in spring so I've always thought they were 1960's vintage .

I have some if you still need one I'd part them they came off older 60's transitional knives . I'm not doing anything with them so you could have both for the price of a small shipping envelope and postage .

picture of Chinese DH gate shell puller as often seen listed on e-bay listed as made in Italy.

masaro lever lock AKC parts shown below . I've looked at knifeparts web sight and the blade's he is selling are Italian ACK ones from Angelo .

I've ordered a few things from there with out any problems so it should be OK . the ACK blades he sells look legit to me .

I've forwarded packages to roadside imports from Angelo in Italy in the past so I know for a fact he get parts from him but he also has stuff from China and every ware else that makes automatic knives in the world . a picture would be the only way to tell which knife you have although the china made...

He never said he bought it from roadside import or his switchblade parts kit web sight how would you know it's made in china without even seeing it ?

send me a private e-mail I might be able to help with a blade
