Re: Kerper picklock switchblade stiletto
The picklock is made by the same person as most of the vintage picklocks you see. The Kerper stamp is pretty rare. It seems like most of the ones I've seen (which is only a few) had MII on the front and Kerper on the back. I don't know anything about Kerper; I assume that was just the importer and/or seller.
The bids on that one are going to go through the roof if it stays up.

Thanks Chris for supplying the link. I wish I had the money to get it, I would like an 11" picklock to add to my collection. Some day maybe.

Re: Kerper picklock switchblade stiletto
want to guess and see who comes closest to the final bid? with all of us knowing this is crazy ebay prices and not real values...
I say that picklock will go for $385.00

Re: Kerper picklock switchblade stiletto
I had a bid on that early on. Seems like a realistic price would have been around $300.

I've never sold a knife before but I'm seriously considering trying to auction off some of my lower end stuff...

I don't have a white rizzie but that price seems crazy with that blade peek...

Re: Kerper picklock switchblade stiletto
The blade peek on that one isn't that bad. A little adjustment and it would sit really well. The real issue with that one is the shape of the blade. Pass on any that look like that.

Re: Kerper picklock switchblade stiletto
thanks Jim
Re: Kerper picklock switchblade stiletto
Jeremy...is that the flat top button you've mentioned in the past that uses the zinc rockers that don't last? You recommended that completely round button, not flat topped?JimBrown257 wrote:The blade peek on that one isn't that bad. A little adjustment and it would sit really well.

Re: Kerper picklock switchblade stiletto
Yes, that is correct. That one has a zinc rocker. It's actually on the 10.5" Batwings that I recommend trying to find the round button/steel rocker ones.
The thing about the 9"s is that the flat top/zinc ones are actually the better knives, other than the rocker. The 9" steel rockers are the really thin/flimsy ones.
