1 - Seven12: the new Forged Lever Lock
--------------------------------------

After the Forged Stiletto, Due Buoi unveils the Seven12: this is a
fully forged lever lock, which marks a bit of a departure from the
existing knives of the same kind.

Still, the like recalls the classic Italian design, so the product
combined cutting-edge construction technology and high quality of
materials with tradition and natural scales.

The body is made of fully forged AISI 420 steel, while the blade is
made of AISI 440 stainless steel treated to 56 HRc hardness.
The handle is currently available in the following materials: asian
buffalo horn, honey horn and black buffalo horn.

To get more information and order of these beauties, take a look at:

2 - 8" and 9"1/2 lever locks from Maniago are back, with some news
------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a while since Maniago stopped producing the 8" and 9"1/2
lever locks, an automatic knife for which the town is quite
famous worldwide.

Now, thanks to new interest in these items, lever locks are back...
and with some news also! The bayonet blade features a new "smooth"
design, as you can see here:

3 - Blade Show 2013 in Atlanta is approaching
---------------------------------------------

The Blade Show in Atlanta is just a few days away. It's an event
which is not to be missed if you care about knives, as it's one
of the biggest in the world.

Moreover, several Maniago producers will be there (as DueBuoi's
Vito), so it's a great chance to meet them, see what's new
and have a nice and useful chat.

Everything about Blade Show is available on the official web site:

http://www.bladeshow.com/

The show begins on May 31 and ends on June 2.



5 - TalkBlade on Facebook
-------------------------

We're not big Facebook fans: not in the sense that we don't like
social networks, but we think forums provide a more focused and
in-depth discussion point compared to Facebook's "smalltalk".

Nevertheless we do have a Facebook page, so be sure to Like us:

==> Finding Vintage Picklock Italian Switchblades
http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21223
Switchblades from the 50s are always great to look for. A vintage
picklock could sell for a lot of money!

==> Movie Switchblades
http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php ... start=1665
A topic from 2010 which still have many contributions. It must be
because switchblade knives are very popular in movies also today,
and continue to be featured in new films.

==> Texas considers switchblade repeal
http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21087
Switchblades are illegal in Texas, but this may change soon! And
this could pave the way for legalization in Kansas and other US states.

http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21266
NEMO did an oustanding work cleaning an old 13" Coricama switchblade.
Take a look at the impressive result!

http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php ... 0&start=15
Ruben Calo, a great custom knifemaker from Buenos Aires, recently
passed away. Read this topic to learn something about his life and
work. He was a good TalkBlade contributor, offering very useful
advice, and will always be in our minds.

http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21036
We all like old things... but how old can a picklock be?
