Was wondering if this is real or not. I’ve never seen one without the stainless steel stamp on it. In the listing he says that the earlier versions didn’t have that stainless steel stamp on them. Thanks for any help https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3615681570

...This is a first for me reading the earlier models weren't stamped Stainless Steel. The seller did a nice job on the polish for sure. But, $400?? Holy Cow!

Yeah price is very high. Way to clean like you mentioned nice job on the polishing.
So you’ve never heard of the earlier model not having that stamp either?

No I haven't heard that myself. I have a few in my collection, but makes me no expert of course. Our friend JimBrown257 is the most knowledgeable on the subject of Rizzys that I'm aware of. Maybe he will see your post. Rizzys are fetching a premium price these days, but way high on that site. It's unfortunate for us collectors, but appears great for those sellers.

Have you considered a rescale on the one you currently have?

I don’t know what the fuss is over this style life, but as you can see they could fetch anywhere from $30 to the ridiculous. Here’s my Korean version it’s new; I pick this one up in 2011.

LOL...John, I'm so glad to see, that in all your beautiful collection of some of the very finest Italian cutlery, that you still made room for this piece! I now feel much better about buying a recent Korean Rizzy myself! lol.

That's a clean rizzy there Chris... I still pick them up if I can get them for under $50 or so... Still looking for a deal on a white one.

Hi Chris,
I like the bayo blade on your Korean Rizzy. When I got mine the only blade option was a flat grind. Flat grids are awesome, but it’s my least favorite style blade. It’s so plain. Your collection wouldn’t be complete without a Rizzy. :)

I'd be Leary to take one apart. Last time I did the sear that was cracked broke in half so I had to make one. What color scale do you need on what size knife ?? I have a few part knives but they are white ones
