Re: Titanium Anyone?

Great call bringing this thread back to life. I remember when these titanium knives started coming out and never knew the story on them. I asked frank a few years ago if he could still make them and he just said straight up "NO". This kind of tells me why. I think it was around 2008 a seller had som...

Re: A new Maniago

Incredible as it might seem, there are now folks in Maniago willing to produce new models of switchblade knives. The goal is to produce something somewhat different, and of very high quality, while of course keeping an eye on the classic Stiletto design. I can't believe I'm saying this but it would...

Re: banana blade blues!!!

Looks like it will work with one of mine but not the other. As soon as I get a day off I'll give it a try.

Re: banana blade blues!!!

Kind of curious on this one as well. I have two of these steel lined AKC swingers that sit funny. The liners come out past the bolsters which i think should be an easy file fix. I thought about taking a file to the backspring to get rid of the banana but am worried shortening the backspring will als...

Re: 60's Swedged Swinguard Stiletto Switchblade Set

I blame it on the time zones. People on the east coast get a 3hr head start, to morning fishing, over us out west......Some really great vintage swingers!!!

These fumes are extremely corrosive. They will ruin the knife, and any others near it.

Re: Can you tell me anything about this dagger?

My job would be even easier with the matching sword/carver! You got a cool peice of metal there, enjoy it..........And Bill thanks for the most entertainng thr...

Help, Broken Leaf Spring......Catalana

So I have this perfect 13" stag catalana from the Campolins. Except for the leaf spring that broke on me a couple months back. I would like to get it fixed but have hit a lot of dead ends trying to find someone to do it. I emailed the maker of the knife and some of the suppliers I buy from here in t...
