Re: Are 13"Italians still being made?

Re: Looking for 9" Frank B purchase or trade

2.0 versions are made by Frank's son en have the searhole all through and the blade is shaped a little different. They have very strong springs though. Nothing wrong with this knife although the searhole may give it a bit of an Asian appearance.

Re: Are 13"Italians still being made?

Pride and Joy of my collection are my AGA Campolin 13"Picklock and my 11"Frank B. Picklock. But, Since I'm in Europe I have only one source to buy from; 3Knives. But Classic style stiletto's, both picklock and swivel bolster seem to get scarce here. If I was to live in the U.S.A. I would have bought...

Are 13"Italians still being made?

Here by I don't mean the asian ones but the SKM,Renzo B or other makers from Maniago. There's a lot of modern stuff hitting the market today but they are not in my field of interest. Does anyone here have some kind of inside information whether they are gonna make them again or is every manufacturer...

Since Beltrame is making them, do they sell them in Europe somewhere?

Re: What's Your Favorite Lube ---

Regular 10w40 engine oil carefully applied with a toothpick. The pivot( between the tang and the liners), the searhole and the locktab. I 'll drip a little drop of oil in the searhole and than close it. Keep the knife closed by your hand and press the button a couple of times. Using that oil takes b...

Re: Help on id a frank b 11 stiletto

It's the newer line of Beltrame knives according to the hole completely going through the blade. They are invented and made by Frank's son. I think Frank is giving all his efforts to the Walt picklocks now. Your knife isn't that old but very wel made to my opinion with a very good snap to it. There ...
