Unexpected
Does anyone have this issue? You have been looking for certain knives for months, even years. Suddenly one will pop up. You buy it, then another you want even more will come available. You buy it, then another, etc. You really can only afford one. But you have waited so long you have to get them while they are available. Second time this has happened to me. I just bought the George Cameron's. Then this one came available A 13" Wasp Body 5mm blade, flatguard, picklock from Renzo P. While waiting to receive this one, 2 more became available. I will post pictures of those when they arrive.

Re: Unexpected
Beautiful..... and yes, just so happens that I sold enough old folders to get the new Dominus... placed the order a few hours ago... also have my eye on a couple others... just deciding how important that brake job is going to be.... haha
Looking for those un-repairable, lost cause stilettos.
Re: Unexpected
That's a sweet one, Thom. It looks arrow-straight and flawless from end to end. The horn is nicely contoured and rounded close to the bolsters, giving it a sleek look that really emphasizes those waspy curves. I'm officially jealous.

Re: Unexpected
Wow Thom, another beauty! I sure know the feeling of "Grab 'em while you can" and we ALL know the "One last knife" even better! (If I could only stay off the sale sites! lol).

Re: Unexpected

Re: Unexpected
Beautiful, I have an AGA wasp body 13 inch with Brazilian horn. The blade sits just a tad below liners. It fires on the slow side but I like it. Could use some tweaking.

Re: Unexpected
Gee, that's odd for a 13" A.G.A. Campolin wasp style picklock. Can't be that old either. I thought they were built much better than that and likely by Renzo Pascotto.picklocksrock wrote:Beautiful, I have an AGA wasp body 13 inch with Brazilian horn. The blade does not sit below liners.

Re: Unexpected
Finding that perfect switchblade is like putting your finger in the leak to fix it. Something about the knife you like then a different obsession of switchblades occurs.JulesVane wrote:Gee, that's odd for a 13" A.G.A. Campolin wasp style picklock. Can't be that old either.

Re: Unexpected
Very nice! This is a 13"? I took advantage to acquire one of the 11" in 2016, but must have missed out on the 13". I hadn't even seen them available.

Re: Unexpected
picklocksrock, what stamp is on yours. RP, AGA? Do you have more picture of it?
