Asian switchblade

Post by Scotchman »

I found an Asian switch that I am thinking of purchasing to have as a "play with" knife. It is as far as I know, stamped Rostfrei, brass liners , a rivet behind the safety, and has the (seer hole? ) that doesn't go all the way through. Taiwan made? I am just looking for a cheap, better quality switch for flick therapy.

I had one years ago I got from Stu and it beat the dog shit out of a Milano for about the same money. Buy it.

Thanks Sammy. what is Milano? China, Japan? I have Italians. Like I said, just something cheap that I can flick and if it breaks, so be it.

Those Asian knock offs are great for click therapy. They are somewhat rough around the edges. They don’t have those really nice lines like an Italian stiletto. However, you can’t go wrong for the money and if it should breakdown you have a safety and a button assembly for future use.

I just got a 9" akc stilleto and found out that its asian but i have to say it looks like its well put together very solid weight, blade is centered, and it fires fast and hard ive been flicking it everyday all day just to see if it will hold up.dont get me wrong i hate clones and i dont collect them but...to pass around to friends you cant go wrong

Some are made fairly well. But, they’re ripping off the Italian craftsman. AKC and the Leverletto are two that are being sold to novice collectors. Tell everyone you know not to buy them. I can’t stand when they use other knife company logos. They should use their own.
Be honest!
