It says its run by Exiled Exports. I think JB runs that try contacting him.

I am unclear whether that is an old site, or if he runs multiple sites in conjunction with roadside.

He doesn't have the best customer service skills so be forewarned on that. But as far as i have heard, and experienced in my purchases you will get what you order.

Thanks for posting this link. I'm considering getting this kit sometime in the near future. I tend to like the American made switchblades, but would like to have at least one iconic Italian Switchblade, "just to have". Are these kits actually Italian made knives?

I don't think that the 16$ ones are, I think those are china, however I think all of the one that are more than that are real Italian, I may be wrong but I don't think you can buy a real Italian for less than 50,(assuming it is fair full size auto)

That is a great site and the guy that runs it is also a good fellow. I do believe he is going for high quality parts,so everyone that wants to work on knives has them available to them. I have designed a few things on there and used just about every part he has listed at one point or another and I can say it's a great site for a beginner or an old timer......Nemo

Hi ive dealt with him before also and no problems my question was about the quality of the parts mainly the italian stiletto parts :) . have you yourself ever used the flat or square leaf springs from there ? i think they sell them in 12" lengths . i know you have to bend them yourself but was wondering if you had to heat treat them after you bend them . :?

I bought this knife already put together. I did my homework and found the company that made it then they had me go through a distributer to buy it. switchbladekits.com is selling the same knife for $30 more than I paid already assembled. If you want this combination this site might be the only place to get it.

JB is ok guy. I have had many conversations via email. Some people find him difficult to deal, but I have never had a problem with him. Buyer beware is my motto.
