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 b...

"The Black Rebels", but I saw it titled "This Rebel Breed" back in the day. Switchblade fight at the 52.20 mark.

Sorry. Forgot to include the youtube address in my previous post for "City Across the River". Kid pulls a switchblade at the 4:00 mark.

"City Across the River". Kid pulls switchblade at about the 4:00 mark.

Good old Mary Lou. She was something else. Thanks for the memory.

>>Father's switchblade was damned useful and saved him from losing his arm (and probably his life) at the Bremerton Naval Ship Yards in 1946 before being shipped off to Antarctica during Operation "Highjump" with Admiral Byrd for hydrological studies.<< Was it a "fishing emergency"? :-) Actually, gr...

...and don't forget that they have "jet like speed in desperate hunting and fishing emergencies". Sure, everyone needs a stiletto in a fishing emergency. That's what the guys in my old neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan would have wanted one for. Fishing emergencies. LOL

I guess that explains it. More men want black than any other color. That would be my *first* choice too. But for a display, all black, or even with a some nice black & white horn, you're going to want to see a little color. Or at least I do. To my taste Brazilian does look beautiful, but I don't rec...

Yes I am. And there are none at Blade Play.

Blade Play only has dark horn Campolin pick locks. Now that I have a dark horn 11" pick lock from AGA campolin, and i'm *very* impressed with the knife, i'd like to find one in light horn as well. So does Campolin only make a limited run in a specific color horn?

Bill, my assumption is that you would charge $70.00 to tighten the bolster?

Thanks guys. I suspected that the pick lock would remain tighter. Bill, do you suggest Campolin for a new pick lock?

Does anyone know who makes the Kobra stiletto?

I have an 11" dark horn stiletto that is faintly marked "Frank B Italy". My assumption when I bought it was that it is a Frank Beltrame knife, but after firing it a few times, nor excessively, the blade is beginning to loosen up. I have an old pick lock that hasn't loosened even a little bit. The bl...

I have a 13" pick lock that is marked M.Italy Inox in oval. Can anyone identify the manufacturer?
