Jeff (Jackalope), not only is your collection of Roscos outstanding, the dedication, time, patience (and money) that went into such a specific collection like this shows so much. It never stops amazing me what the dedicated collectors/members here have gone through for the passion. Wonderful!

Awesome collection, great scales. When were they made? And yes, how long did it take to find them all?

Thanks gravknife! One MUST be patient first of all. I have collected Rosco's for about the last 20 years. Yes, that is a Rosco leverlock. I will need to take a new photo. I forgot I even have this 8" Rosco Italy closed mouth fish style knife.

Thank you Jules Vane, Texan and Thom. All the Rosco Italy autos were made in the 1950's. As I said in my previous post; patience is key. If you see something you want, jump on the opportunity. The money really is insignificant. You can always make more. Not to sound like I am a rich snob. I am probably one of the lower income collectors on here. I have sold many, many, many knives over the years. Many I was very lucky to have owned. Lots of them one would be lucky to have owned. Selling those, awarded me the opportunity to fill-in many of my sets. I have been selling lots of manual knives too. Probably about 40-50 manual Rosco's.

I have been focusing on complete sets and variations of Rosco, Romo, Mauro Mario, Fabico, Triangolo stamped knives. I think this is where the dedication part comes in. Everybody has certain things in life that turn their crank. These are what works for me. I do have other knives that I may never part with just because they have killer horn etc...

A lot of Rosco action lately. Wish I had a new addition, but for now just took some better pics of this nice 8".
