Re: Rebel without a Cause picklock
I have seen an Italian picklock with white plastic scales, so it's possible. It's also possible they just painted it white for effect. A couple of shots of the white knife look like it's a square button knife-others make me sure it's not. That's the best theory I have heard. As many of these knives...

Re: Rebel without a Cause picklock
Real picklocks were used for the fight scene. I'm not saying it isn't horn but I have never seen horn that is that bright of a white color. I know horn can age but the examples I have seen were more of an off-white/tan color. I don't think they were originally bright, solid white. I've never owned o...

Rebel without a Cause picklock
Buzz's picklock has solid white scales on both sides. I've never seen a 1950s stiletto that has solid white handles. Has anyone else? Too bad it's not possible to get a close up of the tang stamp.

Re: Vittorio Beltrame & Famiglia Vintage 20 cm Stiletto
That's really nice! I had an 11-inch BV&F that I sold when it got to the point I had bought too many knives.

Re: Knife review: Hubertus (Otter) 11 cm. stag
Nice and I agree with your review. I have one just like yours and also the small and medium sizes. I think my medium one is a transitional because although it has a slip in spring, it's not firmly in place like the others and has been sliding forward. Overall, the fit and finish of the Otters is bet...

Re: S.M.Z. picklock
I have a 9 inch one with that stamp, patent number and bayonet blade. It's probably a late-1950s production.

Re: Stag Made Italy 6
My only complaint about this knife is that the edge is as dull as a butter knife. I'm thinking about adding it to my EDC rotation so any suggestions on how to get the blade honed razor sharp?

Stag Made Italy 6
I got this 13-inch picklock yesterday. I remember seeing another Made Italy 6 with stainless stamp either on here or Sharper Deals a while back but can't remember details.

Re: AKC Roma - Clarification of Origin
In the 1960s, the Japanese started copying American electric guitars. By the 1970s they were very good at it, and American quality was going down. Most of the American factories contracted with the Japanese to build their guitars. No one in the little Italian town of Maniago wants to make knives no...
