[/img][/url][/url]hello gents new here on this website, came across an old stiletto knife in a cigar box in an old storage unit. it is marked panamex italy finekut.
handles seem to be of plastic or some material. the blade looks cool and is minty. i know its old, not sure how old or what is up with the stampings , maybe a maker ??????
any info on it would be great, i do not collect these items but any info would be greatly appreciated

Re: finekut
Welcome to the forum.
That stamp is completely new to me but I will be very anxious to see what some of the more knowledgeable members will have to say about it.
Anytime one finds an unusual Italian stiletto is always a good thing.

Re: finekut
The stamp is an uncommon one.
How long is the knife, open? They were made in 4-1/2", 5-1/4", 6" and 7" sizes.
The handles are celluloid sheet, wrapped around the nickel silver handles.
The knife is not "mint"-but it's in very good shape.
These knives were manufactured using various names. Edwin Jay, Coricama, Panamex, IMCO, and maybe others.

Re: finekut
thanks for the info , the knife is the smallest of sizes made. i am not really a knife guy. its good to learn and hear alot about these things.
i suppose id rid of it as i have no need for such an item.

Re: finekut
Panamex is quite desirable. If you don't want it you should put it on the SharperDeals auction site.

Re: finekut
That is a highly desirable stamp. If you want to sell it, you would likely do best by following the advice to put it on the Sharperdeal auction site.
