Has anyone seen these? They are not listed on the Otter Messer website but apparently they are making these because there is a seller on All About Pocket Knives who has them.

Wow, those are amazing finds!

Glad to read that it is well made. Bill D disassembled one shortly after the Otter produced models became available and noted the one piece backspring / kickspring. I read later that Otter was moving to the traditional 2 piece design. What does yours have? Thanks, Jim I read Bill's posts and at fir...

I bought this "lilliput" Hubertus made by Otter Messer at a gun show last weekend. It was not a good deal but I at least saved shipping charges from buying one online. Overall, I am impressed. The fit and finish is better than the knives that were made by Hubertus and the edge is sharper. Only time ...

Wow! That is a Holy Grail knife.

I have many modern standard production Italian stilettos but I have no interest in the overpriced custom knives. I could buy a decent 1950s picklock for the same price or less. To each their own, but the modern "Latamas" made by Frank Beltrame are of no interest to me.

This one is well made and has a really tight back spring. I've noticed JPLs often have week back springs and I also bought an 11 incher that is almost mint except for the weak back spring. I'm guessing the Rizzuto picklocks were made late 50s or early 60s?

I found this Rizzuto nine-inch Japanese picklock at a gun show.

I believe that is a pre-1954 New York City importer.

These smaller ones do seem harder to find and most of the ones I have seen have been sharpened probably because it's a good size for EDC.

I was pleased to get this 18 cm Rosco because not only was I wanting a Rosco but I especially was wanting an unsharpened 18 cm which I previously did not have.

I got this in today, a 23 cm Alamo picklock.

. Your eyes are doing just fine..... an ordinary fridge magnet won't stick to the button; but a powerful rare earth magnet does. While nickel is very slightly magnetic, a tiny bit of it like this would not act that way. Everything points to stainless steel. The pivot pin attracts even a small, very...

You did well. That is an older swivel bolster with the rocker button assembly and is easily worth more than the $225 total you spent.

Here's an unusual one in the original box and wrapper.
