Re: Are 13"Italians still being made?
Pride and Joy of my collection are my AGA Campolin 13"Picklock and my 11"Frank B. Picklock. But, Since I'm in Europe I have only one source to buy from; 3Knives. But Classic style stiletto's, both picklock and swivel bolster seem to get scarce here. If I was to live in the U.S.A. I would have bought...

Does anyone here have some kind of inside information whether they are gonna make them again or is every manufacturer...

Re: What's Your Favorite Lube ---
Regular 10w40 engine oil carefully applied with a toothpick. The pivot( between the tang and the liners), the searhole and the locktab. I 'll drip a little drop of oil in the searhole and than close it. Keep the knife closed by your hand and press the button a couple of times. Using that oil takes b...

Re: Help on id a frank b 11 stiletto
It's the newer line of Beltrame knives according to the hole completely going through the blade. They are invented and made by Frank's son. I think Frank is giving all his efforts to the Walt picklocks now. Your knife isn't that old but very wel made to my opinion with a very good snap to it. There ...

Re: Grind Works Selling FAKE AKC knives?
but it's true take a look at the 3K website. All the similar knives are advertised as SKM exept for the faux ivory which is advertised as AKC. They must have been mistaken. All knives are marked Made in Italy. I have one (a faux ivory). That being said, I think they are running out of classic and pi...
