The folding guard knives are being counterfeited. I believe the 2 pictured are Italian.

He won't be on call for me when I'm making a decision at a knife show, so I'll play it safe. Speaking of playing it safe, probably will be several years before I feel safe enough to go back to knife shows...lolwhippersnapper wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 4:27 am Plus I believe Bill D has seen enough to tell- even by a picture.

Re: AKC or a clone?
Thank you all for great info. The knife did not sell so I am just thinking of getting it for "study" purpose.
Re: AKC or a clone?
Thanks Bill.
It was a Bo Diddley moment for me when I saw it.

"AKC never made a stiletto of the classic/traditional style"
"Renzo Beltrame doesn't make levers so they'd be stilettos"
Could somebody please clarify this contradiction....???

Re: AKC or a clone?
Not sure but I think there was some contracting out to each other, seems like it came up years ago on a thread but I could be wrong.
