Looking for a switchblade...

hey guys, not sure if I should post this here, but...

I'm looking for a 11" Stilletto in olivewood w/polished-Bayo blade. I searched for awhile, anyone have a link or seen one recently?

Thanks

Yeah, I checked most of the "good ones", but I can only find ones with brass bolsters. I'll keep looking. Thanks.

try texasmad I dont know if he's got one but he's got some nice stilettos very reasonable.

Brass bolsters are traditional on wood scaled Stilettos but may be able to special order stainles. Ask here - support@skmknives.com

You will be looking for a Frank Beltrame olivewood because he doesn't use the brass bolsters on his 11" Olivewoods. I had a butt load of them awhile back but I think I got rid of them all but will check to see if I have one hidden anywhere.

Woo hoo!
Found one. They are not on the "good ones" list, so I'm not sure. Here's a link...

I'll wait, let me know if you have one TexasMad. I'd rather buy from a site member.

Thanks!

Sorry the best I had was a 9" OLivewood but it has a Damascus blade, I can vouch for the link you posted, Chuck is a good guy and is pretty straight up and honest.

I've dealt with Chuck several times. Always a straight shooter with me, even though he did sneak in and outbid me on a nice one from TexasMad.

You'd think with all his knives he'd cut a poor man some slack. Oh well, it's all in the timing.

All kidding aside I think you'll do well dealing with Chuck.

$58 is a good deal for a high quality piece. I have one and I can attest to its quality. I got mine from TexasMad so it was particularly well polished and in 100% perfect condition.
