That's a really cool old stamp from Maniago Italy. Used in the 1950's and 60's.

OK first off, this thing is massive. I couldn't weigh it my scale got an overload error, but the shipping weight was 2kg = 4.4 lbs. When I first saw this knife, it reminded me of the scene from Crocodile Dundee where he said, "you call that a knife?". The build quality is that of a knife that only a handmade knife would have, Latama just took a back seat. I don't have a micrometer, but the blade thickness is close to a Frank B 2.0 which is 3.68mm. I noticed they have an engraved knife up for sale, could someone loan me $2180.00? The pictures are with an 11" Latama Picklock, I figured what's 2"? The knife also came with a nice leather pouch and a certificate of authenticity.
