These are pretty cool knives overall. They don't have D-stamped liners, and the bolsters are plated stainless, but they are fully lined on all 4 ears. Some minor gapping inthe spine, but I've seen far worse. Blade and blackspring is a bit fatter than the ones being produced now. Nice fit and finish overall, very straight all around, scales are in great (new) condition and a very hard crack open. Despite the fact that there is minimal play in the open position, the hole in the locking tab is twice the size of the blade pin. A cool find.

Magnum...mine's like a rocket. I'll be interested in hearing about Claudster's.

Mr. Magnum and Mr. Edge,

If if weren't for the plastic scales I believe this one stands up to any of the FBs, SKs, AKCs or who ever. The ones I got are fast, straight and lock up tite. Very different. One nice thing about the scales is you have a good grip on this knife.
I give them a 8 out of 10. How about you Mr. Edge

i'd say the same for both of mine too! tiny bit of play...

one of mine has the "molletta" stamp on the back....

Sounds about right...8ish. They make a wild cracking sound when they open due to the hard plastic. A cool collectible.

mr_edge - in case you were wondering....
Molletta in the Napoli dialect means "spring knife".

Very interesting. Is there a Molletta on it's way east?
