11" A.G.A. Campolin Brazilian Horn Flatguard 5mm Picklock
Hi folks, this is a great day, and i thought i share it here,
got this one in the mail today:
Compared to a standard 11":
Build quality is excellent.
I think my collecting days are over now.. since there are no more wants after this one.
It comes with a certificate and a deluxe black leather sheath.
It's hard to stop playing with it and put it away, maybe i take it with me to bed tonight..
Gonna eat Italian tonight.

these knives are built like a tank , me personally i think they are the very best 11 inchers Italy has ever made ever you just dont get much better , it is custom made quality for sure, i have one ive flicked open over 2500 times now and its still going strong. flick till your hearts content if spring breaks its easily replaceable.

Thickest knife i own atm.
Build like a tank indeed.

Beautiful knife! I thank METALGOD for the one I have also. Once you hold onto a 5mm piece, the others just don't seem to shine quite as bright (IMO). I'm pretty sure Angelo Campolin signed the certificate. I've been saying "last knife" about the last 5 or so. Kinda' cringe to show the "next knife" bills to my other half lol!

Thanks for the comments.
The wasp body is real cool too.
Indeed compared to this one the others look and feel real thin now.
Just like with people, some are thin others are thick.. but they all have there own charms, good sides, bad sides etc.
But i wouldn't say one is better than the other in that context.

Thats a beautiful knife .
Was that available this side of the pond if you dont mind me asking.
I really love the wasp body and the horn is superb ,i love the campolin stamp , thick slip in backspring there is nothing i would change on that knife my freind.
Its a modern day 50s picklock made to tock all the boxes.
Thanks for sharing it ....but i'm afraid the old last knife i am buying is fine for only a week or two ,until something you just have to have appears before your eyes.
I find myself saying it more when my wife is around aswell.
Great knife and hope you are well blademan

Thank you for your interesting comment gravknife,
i went thru some hard times past years, but i recovered
my collection of Italians just got better over the years i guess
not better in the sense of build quality in that context but rather more like
getting to the vintage quality.
I buy my knifes directly from the dealers in Italy, and from 3Knifes, and it takes 3 days to arrive here in standard priority mail.
Maybe the next goal is to top this one off.

Re: 11" A.G.A. Campolin Brazilian Horn Flatguard 5mm Picklock
Could be that these modern thick knifes are even better in quality then the vintage ones,
i can't really say because i never held a vintage in my hands.
I own several Walt's but no Sam Polk.
