A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks
On a Sunday afternoon, I figured I'd post a few pics...The A.G.A. Campolin 10" - 5mm Picklocks from my humble collection. With their in-between length, hefty feel of 5mm thickness and nickel/silver hardware, I find them some of the best of today's modern stilettos. Please feel free to post yours as well...Chris

God those are nice. Everyone of them. I've only got a stag horn version in that 10" size, and you are correct. They feel real fat in the hand.

I figured I'd better grab an Abalone specimen before I no longer can. Hard to photograph with my iPhone:
...pictures aren't too good and I honestly hope Abalone scales are a material that I can grow to like more for myself. Right now, I'm not too sure. You really have to look straight on to them for a good view. Side views aren't so great. Thanks for looking and all the nice comments guys!

Re: A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks
Wow!!
JulesVane.....these are absolutely stunning knives and look superb together in the different types of scales.
They look nice with any blade type but i really love the kriss and dagger blade examples top and third from top,they catch my eye first but I would gladly be the proud owner of any knife pictured here.
I am shocked how chunky they are as I own no moderns ,only the older knives ,more through fear of customs loss than choosing old over new.
That abalone scaled example is a real beauty ......you have a really special set of knives there that will only appreciate with time .
Great pics and thanks for the look .
All the best

In my opinion, the AGA 10" knives are as fine as any ever made-including the 1950s models.

Re: A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks
Hi Chris,
OMG!!! Incredibly beautiful set of stilettos.
My favorites first the Abalone then top knife in Brazilian horn, the Stag and any one of the Kris knives. I guess I should say all of them.
I'll have to find my 5mm knife photos. I'll have to convert them from a PhotoBucket to vgy format.
I hope to be back soon.

Re: A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks
Thanks Ian, Bill and John! Bill, thanks. Your opinion means a lot, thank you. John, been seeing you post some exceptional beauties the last couple days. Would love to see your 5mm collection. Looking forward to it....I think when I got my 1st 5mm stiletto, it really curved my collecting direction toward all I could/can acquire. Like Ian stated, that "chunky" hefty-solid feel.

Re: A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks
That finish is awesome. I took some pics of a new beauty I just got but when I tried to upload them it said file size was too large? Used my cell hhone camera, so no clue what I did wrong..anyway, I'd like that finish on a swinguard knife. Those style of knives are my fav.
Re: A.G.A. 10"- 5mm Picklocks
Thanks for the photos guys. I haven't bought a new knife in some years but based on Bill's endorsement I may have to find one of these...
