Yeah, that's what I liked about it also Bruce! Feels good in my big hands, just like my Fender Strat neck does!BruceS wrote:I like the "Chunky" Stag. Nice find. First picklock I had in high school was a "Chunky" Stag 9". That was almost 50 years ago. Where has the time gone.

No, it's just the way things work over there. Everyone offers all the products-that way, no one gets left out.Jay Blade wrote:Nothing like taking credit for someone else's work!Bill DeShivs wrote:And, they'll tell you that they made it!
I see, they all work together. Cool. So you'll know by size who made your knife, okay. Thanks for the info again. I've learned a lot here!Bill DeShivs wrote:No, it's just the way things work over there.

BTW- Frank Beltrame does make the thick 9" knives for Latama.
Great info METALGOD!! So it's Not her Uncle Renzo but another Uncle, okay. Will the mystery uncle please come forward, lol...METALGOD wrote:ive bought many 13" stilettos over the years direct from Frank and Renzo , Renzo Beltrame makes 13" stilettos , Frank Beltrame does not make 13's but does sell 13" stilettos . i was told by Sara many years ago that her uncle made the 13" stilettos Frank sells (not Armando of AB) so must be another Beltrame or possible uncle on mothers side who makes 13" Frank sells . you can tell the different makers of 13's by the liner on bottom as ones Frank sells are full cut and are usually stamped just (inox) some stamped (Frank B. Italy) . the 13's that Armando and Renzo sell do not have full cut bottom liner. so knife you have was most likely made by saras uncle but was sold by Frank. hope this helps
not Renzo and not Armando , like i said not sure if uncle is on Franks side or his wife side.Jay Blade wrote:Great info METALGOD!! So it's Not her Uncle Renzo but another Uncle, okay.

More likely Renzo Beltrame。GTom19176 wrote:13" swivel bolster stag with a bayo blade....At the moment a good price for this size is around $100. This is about 20 years old ( best guess) most likely made by Frank Beltrame in Italy......
YES MADE BY SARA'S UNCLE RENZO!!!.my guess is he makes full cut ones for Frank and skm website，and makes non full cut for Armando。skm budgetMETALGOD wrote:ive bought many 13" stilettos over the years direct from Frank and Renzo , Renzo Beltrame makes 13" stilettos , Frank Beltrame does not make 13's but does sell 13" stilettos . i was told by Sara many years ago that her uncle made the 13" stilettos Frank sells (not Armando of AB) so must be another Beltrame or possible uncle on mothers side who makes 13" Frank sells . you can tell the different makers of 13's by the liner on bottom as ones Frank sells are full cut and are usually stamped just (inox) some stamped (Frank B.
