Re: Sharper Deals auction site gone?

I hope Bob doesn't make the forum completely disappear, even if we can't post or comment there. There's still 20+ years of knowledge there that is still very valuable.

I think they call that style a "Karambit" ?

Re: Sharper Deals auction site gone?

Unfortunately, the FB version of SharperDeals isn't much of a sales or auction group. At least, no more than any other switchblade group. I'm not sure what Bob's original plans were for it.

Re: Beltrame Family

I don't find a lot of quality differences either. To me, "Beltrame" covers all 3 names.Then, there is always that one may supply the blades, the other the liners...etc., all on the same knife.

I know what you mean, Thom. I call it "over travel", like a reverse banana blade. Hate each with a passion!

Re: Info on batwing

A Japanese pre-Rizzuto sounds like a 1950's Japanese picklock. But, wouldn't have batwings , referring to swinguards. Looking forward to pics...

Re: One last OTF

I believe that's referred to as "The Joker" knife from one of the Batman movies. It's a clone of a model made by Robbie Dalton called "Cupid".

Re: Three more guardian clones

The originals aren't an easy find these days. If you do, usually very expensive. I foolishly traded away my traditional stag Guardian, but was able to hold on to these two. I'm not even positive about the scale materials...

Re: Stiletto Dolphine 13 inch from Maniago

Are these knives nickel silver, fully lined D stamped and 2-piece slip in spring? I'm not knocking the knives, but seems the involvement is Lucio Di Bon picks out the horn, Francesco Mariani finances the builds and one of the Beltrame's builds them the same as they always have. I think the most "spe...

1st Tang Stamped Hubertus

I've tried to keep my Hubertus collection down to the W. Germany etch as much as possible, but always wanted a tang stamped model. I really love the little Hubertus, so when this tang stamped Liliput with bolster stamp showed up, I was double thrilled! https://i.imgur.com/AMMyAho.jpg https://i.imgur...
