that has a nice kick and a nice 'click', I've enjoyed watching the progress of this one, great looking knife!

that's a stunner for sure, never seen a 13" with a bail before. The mella brand badge is a nice detail also, that's quite a find!

That's awesome, I was in Florence in 2000, it's a beautiful city! Unfortunately I didn't know much about switchblades back then. I might've bought one if I'd ever seen any for sale. None of the stalls/street vendors were selling any that I remember, minis or otherwise, but probably just didn't know ...

Just recently started getting into these little guys, never thought much about them. Now I'm always looking for more lol, currently looking for an original box for the 2 3/4" ones.

Looks fantastic, can't wait to see the finished product!

I'll take them both if still available, pm sent.

It's spanish, I've seen some others with the square hole. Can't help you with value.

those are cool little microtechs, I'm liking that blue. Don't see many of these small MT's, especially the older ones like this.

Here is one I just got. I don't have any of my switchblade books handy, but I'm guessing it's maybe from the late 40's.
