Due Buoi switchblade

Post by SwitchGear »

The Due Buoi switchblades, are they good?
Are they still around?
I like the Forged Sitletto.

Don’t see many on the secondary market...

I have a couple, 1 thorn and 1 of the lever locks, two of my favorites in my collection, once you have one you won't want to get rid of it that's why you don't see many up for auction or sale ,very well made . I will try to get some pics posted soon

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about!
Love the solid bolsters, tight lines, tightly fitted scales. In the pictures I see of them,there have fine attention to detail.

I reached out to them and they said that they are thinking about making some in the future. He said expect to pay $500. This was a few months ago.

The first run of Due Buoi switchblades was a Talkblade forum knife in 2006. It is a stiletto with guards, and is scaled in dark horn. Mine is 11 of 15.

John, I bought one of those classics at Blade when they were first introduced. I had to sort through maybe 25 to find one that semi-worked. I guess they improved.

The bones of a yr ago Vittorio told me there was a production run on the way, said he would email me closer to the time.

That's the last i heard from him.
