Pick Lock Pat Havlin
I received my first PLP Havlin knife today. I got this one from the source! Thanks Pat! Also, thank you to ILikeStilettos for putting me in contact with Pat!
I have a couple more PLPs coming, I will add pics as they arrrive.
I can’t get over the quality and craftsmanship of this knife. It truely is a work of art! You really have to see and hold one in person to fully appreciate its beauty.
Pics incoming...

The knife is a Frosolone pattern, 9-1/2 inches long, 5/32" thick blade and springs, 1/16" thick bolsters.
It is rock solid with zero blade play, and kicks like a mule with lightening fast action. I’m beyond pleased.

Re: Pick Lock Pat Havlin
That is no knife, thats art.
..in fact we are all art collectors here.
if someone would ask me..how many knifes doe you have?.. i'd say: i have 5 kitchen knifes and 1 work knife, and 32 pieces of art.

Re: Pick Lock Pat Havlin
Absolutely stunning looking knife and beautiful work
.
I would love an example made by Pat ,they are the rembrandts of the italian switchblade art and will be awed at for a long time after we are gone.
I have wanted to get one made and once contacted Pat ,but soon after had 2 knives seized .
I would not risk those nice men at british customs taking something like this....losing a Frenchie or transitional is bad but these beauties....I would be suicidal.
Great knife Jay...classy materials and handmade by a master and one of a kind ...doesnt get much better really .
Thanks for sharing it.

Re: Pick Lock Pat Havlin
Pat's knives are extraordinary. Love that example, you lucky guy!
Re: Pick Lock Pat Havlin
Wow - that's gorgeous. As a newcomer to Italian stilettos, it's startling to see what appears to be a traditional Italian-made Frosolone that's so refined and immaculately clean, straight, and tight from stem to stern. Beautiful attention to the smallest detail.
Re: Pick Lock Pat Havlin
Awesome knife from awesome guy , the very best italian stiletto maker in the world is Pat . every piece he makes should be in a museum , yes they are that awesome
