Hi all...Here's my new "Gun/Knife/Letter Opener" from A.G.A. Campolin. Limited run of 200 (100 in Brazilian Horn/ 100 in Cocobolo). 6.57" open- 2.87"/3mm blade. 6.1 oz. Aircraft anodized aluminum body- 440c steel blade. Brazilian Horn inlays. This one is Serial #004. Leaf spring fired. Pretty cool collectible novelty piece!

Hi Sammy, Angelo sent it from Austria. I think it took 6 days including the weekend. Pretty fast one!

I can't decide whether to laugh at the absurdity of the thing or to buy one. Maybe both! :|

LMAO! I understand Rick. I WAS going to hold off in hopes of finding one of the following, but figured this modern would open those nasty envelopes just fine lol...

Great Gunknife Chris !

Love the older types aswell , but they dont often come up for sale.Only seen a couple in my searching history in Europe.
Talk to Lance if you get time ....he has an excellent collection of these if I remember correctly.

Thanks for sharing it .

Thank you as always for your kind words and thoughts Ian. As with many of my blade picture posts as of late, this one has also went over like a lead balloon lol. I thank you for always stopping by, it's appreciated very much. Hope you're well Ian.

Oh, that is a beautiful piece, thinking about one myself


Edit-took out a link that went to something that I thought would fit in this conversation, after looking at it again, I was wrong.
Looking for those un-repairable, lost cause stilettos.

Keep posting and reminding us of the great knives that are out there...pictures like yours and from others are my only switchblade fix at the moment so keep them coming.

Take Care mate.

AZCK has a beautiful oldie, claimed to be from the '40s. Pretty cool, but very pricey.

Thanks for posting that Rick. "un-known maker", what a shame. Looks like it got a custom paint job(?).

Looks like thin layers of horn and celluloid to me. Almost has an Art Deco look to it.
