Post by Bill DeShivs »

Had some interest in what was in my knife cabinet.
Here is the picture that caused the post title.

:shock: Oh my god the treasures those drawers contain!! Man, even two of the Italian originals that the Rizzies cloned!! Three old german shellpullers!! One looks like tortoise, is that real?? And 10 more drawers I haven't even seen. That is one perfect shrine!! Wow!! Thanks for the pics Mr. DeShivs!!

A lot of the Leverlettos are first run. There are some strange ones there, too. If you look closely, there's a "littleverletto" and a customized one.
There are shell pullers and an original Puma lever lock.
The swinger in drawer 1 was a gift from Grandpa Angelo Campolin.
Good observation on the "pre-Rizzutos!" The tortoise shell on the lever is not real, nor or the scales original.
More pictures later....

Thanks again for the photos Bill. With all the negativity that has sprung up here lately, a look at the DeCollection may be just what it takes to get back on track. I saw much that I like in all of the drawers, and drawer number 2 sure had me looking for a long time.

Beeyootiful Bill....I recently posted a knife desrcription, no pic, and the knife in your drawer no.1, to the left of the blue and also the knife in drawer no.2, 2nd from right fits the decription of my knife. One exception is the spring steel sticks out about a half inch. My knife is overall 13" in length. The name INOX circled rectangularly is at base of blade. Does mine sound familiar? Any price estimates come to mind? My knife is at least 40 years old. Thanks for sharing your "drawers" Bill........Khill
