Thanks for your response, Ive been out of the loop for a while, I'm getting back into building a collection. Yes it is! Are there red flags with this knife you are aware of? I curious why this one is still available.

No red flags that I'm aware of. This is a fantastic stamp.

Now, I'm curious?

Did you acquire it?

And where can I go to see what this knife looks like? Is there a post here? I'm not too adept with the search function for some reason, I could search on knife and turn up posts about a screwdriver! ;)

Here's a pic of a Red Rose stamp picklock. Not my knife. Pic originally posted by member Quaero.

Tang stamp is "RED ROSE" over "MADE ITALY".

Apparently Adrian sold his. I thought it might be you.

Thanks Killgar. That's a sweet looking little knife indeed!

Is there a thread here, guess I'll try searching. Never heard of this one. I'm curious to their history.

Here's an interesting thread- viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5410&hilit=Red+Rose#p85327

All I could find online about Oreste Rosa is that they filed for their trademark in Maniago in 1949, and that they are associated with a company by the name Pietro Rosa & Sons, among several other company names in Italy, some of them knife companies.

"Industria Coltellerie" means "cutlery industry", but I don't know if there is an actual connection between Oreste Rosa and the Red Rose brand. The use of the name "rose/rosa" might just be one heck of a coincidence.

I also keep thinking about George Rose of the ROSCO brand. But his name might just be a coincidence as well.

I use Imgur.com

You create an Imgur account (it's free), then upload pics from your computer into your Imgur account, then post the BBCode that Imgur assigns to your picture in your post. I created a tutorial with visual aids to explain how I post pics using Imgur here- viewtopic.php?f=7&p=316675#p316675

There is a way to do it all in ones computer, but I'm an "analog" kind of guy, so I just write down the BBCode on a piece of paper and manually type it out in my post :D .
