Re: Batwing swingers
I’m glad they are, but that darn screw for a pivot pin? I’m really surprised. I’m not positive, but I don’t think Renzo Pascotto was involved with the production of this new run. I’m not quite sure why they decided the blade needed to be “adjustable” with that screw.

Re: Batwing swingers
You can loosen the screw and make it fire faster but you loosen it to much and you'll have blade wobbel. It's not the way they are origanally made either.

the larger 16" and 24" stiletto's Renzo Pascotto made have the screw for pivot , it is good for 2 reasons i know 1 is to tighten or loosen blade , 2 is you can remove blade entirely for shipping storage etc... you dont like the screw have a pin put in it easy peezy
Re: Batwing swingers
Functionally, a screw is a superior design, but a pin is the traditional Italian (and other) design.

Holy banana blade Batman!
All the examples I looked at in the vids had severe banana blade droop.

Re: Batwing swingers
I considered the Dagger / Batwing, but thought i saw Banana blade there.
I would have preferred it with a steel guard/ bolsters too - is brass durable enough for a swinguard?
Some of the materials / blade style combinations seem a bit random.
