Renzo P. Frosolone 10"
My first Frosolone, and I'm very pleased with the elegant design and clean workmanship, and the horn is some fairly primo lookin' stuff. Centered, straight, tight, no peeking or gaps - it checks all the boxes, Heck, it's even relatively sharp, with a *gasp* usable blade profile, should one be so inclined. But then, it's not technically a stiletto.
Anyone know why they position the button and safety so far south on the handle? The firing ergos are better than I expected, but still a bit more awkward than the usual centrally-placed button.

That's another beauty you've acquired Rick! Certainly hit the Horn jackpot as well! A great post by Dave (ILSs) on the low button placement here.... viewtopic.php?p=256482#p256482

The button and safely are designed that way for a covert ambush style shanking.

Thanks, guys.
Wow - I had no idea that the low button placement had such a specific function. That makes me appreciate the design even more. Seems like the stealth value would be severely compromised by the loud warning *clack* of the blade firing compared to a small, silent fixed blade , but that doesn't make the design concept any less interesting.

Re: Renzo P. Frosolone 10"
Can't argue with that! The sound of these Eye-talian classics is what hooked me on 'em in the first place. So much more organic and complex than the generic *thunk* of yer ubiquitous aluminum-framed, coil-sprung auto. Chock-up another one for the peculiar eccentricities of the automatic knife collector.JulesVane wrote:Ahh, but Rick! That "warning click" is half the fun! lol
