Re: Coricama red dot Kris stiletto knife
Neat knife. They used to be a lot harder to find but more and more turn up. The blade has a lot of rust and the safety is missing. You won’t make a lot off it. But it’s worth what others are willing to pay. Everyone seems to always want the steel lined onesppb76epai wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 4:07 pm Greetings everyone, today we came across this beautiful Italian Coricama stiletto Kris knife...

Actually that will clean up pretty well and a 13" Kris Coricama is quite valuable.
Re: Coricama red dot Kris stiletto knife
wow man awesome find very cool i make t-shirts and magnets post cards etc...with the Coricama logo or ad whatever it is lol .
im pretty sure your knife was made sometime in late 1940's to mid 1950's , someone here im sure has more info then i can pass on to ya on exact year it was made .
made with brass liners and brass pins, carbon steel blade , brazilian cowhorn handles
kriss blade Coricamas are pretty rare even in condition its in i think at auction you would get good amount for it , it does need restored and needs to be disassembled to do that correctly, it has dent in button needs new safety cap then totally cleaned , but restored would bring more than condition it is in now for sure . value on low end i think around 500 on hi end maybe 1000 bucks , restored value hard telling , this is a rare knife for sure .

Re: Coricama red dot Kris stiletto knife
It’s a super sweet piece. A light clean up with simichrome and soldering a safety cap on and it’s going to be as nice as anything seen. I wouldn’t take it apart if it was mine. It would look pretty amazing with the right amount of TLC.

This must have never been carried a day. The inside kickspring is shiny and mint. A bright shiny mint original finish. Fires like a rev’ed up CANNON!!
