Two things. I'd give $150 for it as is and the top bolster is facing the wrong direction. The thumb side when open should be curved back and the side with the cutting edge should be curved forward. All other stilettos are facing as I stated and with a reason. Still would give 150 for the apparent quality and construction. Nice to see a new take on the old design.

I like the looks and construction looks sturdy. $200 would be tough. I collect because of the "mythological" (for lack of a better word) aspect of the traditional Italian style and would have a hard time adding this piece to my display case. Can't help but want one of everything though!

Just ordered one. Will cmment after I get it in my hand and put it to use for awhile I did think about creating me scales for it. I have a forearm bone from a big black bear a friend bagged shortly before he passed away. It is increddibly dense and heavy. Might be a nice way to honer my friends last

These look nice, but I prefer something I can use (take a look at my recent purchases and you'll see). While these are impressive, They will probably return limited utility. If they re well-made, they could garner some artistic interest.

Ol' "practical pig" rides again. :roll:

p.s. The N690Co steel in the blades makes a substantial difference in my opinion. It will allow the blade to hold as good an edge as one of top-grade 440C steel. (Buck used a "top tier" 440C steel until 1981 when they changed to 420HC). If the blade geometry permits, this may make for a good cutting implement after all.
