Can anyone help me identify this knife?

Post by charleshuber1983 »

Ive had this switchblade for a long while now and got it out the other day and for the life of me cant find who makes it ect. Theres a stamp on the blade but its a little worn off. It definitely says italy and kinda looks like A&B but i cant really tell. Its in great working condition and its 13" long total open blade to end of handle. It also has the bayonet style blade on it. Any info would be really appreciated thank you in advance.

I see cutlery and Italy but not sure what is before that. Ring Cutlery comes to mind but that's certainly not the first word.

Hello fellow Charles. You already have the tang stamp
correct. It’s “A&B Cutlery.” I have a little info on an A&B cutlery but it’s been so long since I thought about it I can’t remember offhand. I’ve have to dig up what I have.
