10cm CiZ Bayonet Mini

Post by Highspeedsteel »

I recently traded for this 10cm CiZ (Zoppis) mini with a bayonet blade... I am curious, has anyone in here ever seen a stamped 10cm (other than INOX) or one with a bayonet? Seems pretty interesting and from what I can tell is fairly unique.

A buddy sent me the La Vespa tassel/tag when I told him about the knife; it didn't come with it, but makes for a great presentation piece etc. Thank you for looking

Wow, that is spectacular, congrats!!!!

These old 10cm's are super rare. Add that stamp and the bayo blade and you've got a major score! All the examples I can think of are daggers. We see some images of bayo mini's in catalogs like Latama but rarely see the knives pop up. As for stamps I think I've seen a 10cm with the moon stamp, maybe 1 other importer but I can't name it for certain. Great piece to own!

Thank you everyone for the kudos! Aside from one grouchy guy insinuating it's a Tony Sandoval fake on FB, it's been pretty well received... I just love that stuff keeps coming out of the woodwork and there's never a dull day or moment in this hobby. Thank you all again
