A curved Italian style switchblade?

Post by LD57 »

Has there ever been an Italian stiletto style switchblade with a curved blade?

I'm fairly positive these are Asian. Thankfully, we don't see any Italian markings or counterfeit company names.

Oh yeah, definitely Asian. I’ve never seen a curved blade/handle with stiletto-style bolsters.

Button, button, whose got the button? Maybe all lefties? Can't be bolster fired as the second lock pin is not in evidence.

Some Chinese vendors will photoshop out the buttons and safeties. I'm not sure why, might be for legal reasons.

They are photo shopped to remove the button and saftey. They may also have taken off the AKC or other miss markings you will see when the knife gets to you....

They're definitely different, my guess is China but they are interesting. No nail nik so they probably hide the button from ebay.

Look at the middle black colored one. See the light on the handle is dull and blurry where the button/safety would be??? The rest shows the gleam of the light above it. It was photo shopped guys.......

I'm shocked, shocked that our trustworthy Chinese friends would stoop so low as to use photoshop to misrepresent their offerings :!: Just for that, I'll stop going to the Wuhan fish market :mrgreen:

Ok, that's just crazy looking...

11 inch, curved the other way.
And, of course, the AKC logo :roll:

I'm not endorsing these, by the way.
Interesting designs, I think.

Whoever thought these were a good idea was freakin high. The Roma swinguards actually aren’t that bad. Like how they incorporate both Russian and Italian styles. But these? Sorry, they’re just ugly.

Well, you don’t have to worry about getting one with a “banana” or “boomerang” blade, it’s designed that way!
