I carried the slimline today. It is a comfortable and useful "carry knife". (It is dangerously sharp too)! Smile, Bill. AKC makes a great product and I feel comfortable carrying this on my person as a last-ditch backup in a tight spot.

That's downright sexy! Can you imagine carrying that as an assasination knife? That's "movie star" material!

Oh, yeah!

Bless you, Dave. Thank you for indulging the rest of our colleagues with this version of the knife. Thanks for letting people see what a real Italian-style with a distinctly American flavor. A true "working" automatic knife. I wish an American company would create a production knife such as this. (I...

Daddy picked up his Fishtail about 70-73 years ago (between 1935-1938 as near as I can guess). This should tell you something.

That's just a guess, mind you.

Love the drawing(s).

Depends on what we you mean by "light use". I have an old beat up stiletto switchblade on my desk that I use for opening letters, slicing the tape on delivered boxes, cutting string and cord, cutting the plastic wrapper of stuff, etc. A few days ago I even used it to bend a contact into shape on a ...

Point taken.

It looks Italian. Is it?

The third picture down has knives that resemble the automatic Used by John Wayne in the opening scene of the film "Big Jake". (The automatic Wayne used had a lanyard). These are nice pocket knives the lock-back Fishes are neat knives. I like the configuration, but prefer my auto for convenience (and...

IS THAT COOL? Yeah, that's cool.
