Italian switch blade

Post by Pickles the drummer »

Looking for a good quality Italian switch blade. Something I can cut boxes and stuff with.

Italian switchblades are stabbing weapons, not cutting weapons. You'd do better with a Buck knife or a plain box cutter. You are describing a Cadillac for pizza delivery.

I meant more like opening boxes. Not planning on using it much. I'm just looking for something that's good quality and looks nice. Not that black plastic stuff

Leverlettos are nice. If you go to Bladeplay and order a Buck 110 Auto (manufactured in Post Falls Idaho) you'll have a "lifetime knife" for $140.00. This knife will satisfy every light/medium cutting task you can ever encounter.

Good luck!

A Leverletto is an excellent "light-duty" knife. I understand the desire for an Italian knife. Another option would be either a Frank or Armando Beltrame swivel lock or picklock with a flat-ground blade. These will also serve in a light-duty capacity, but not quite as well as a Leverletto.

All the best and I hope that you find the knife you need.
