Re: New Frank B picklock

Great! The guys in Italy are pushing them on FB. Told me 275 euros. Not sure if that includes shipping.

Re: Coricama Kris Pick Lock Set

Beautiful set! Though I’ve never seen a Coricama kris blade in 8” or less, I can’t imagine why there wouldn’t be one (some) out there. 8” kris are found with other stamps, you’d surely think some went through Coricama.

Re: SKM autos - new and legit or fake?

But, there were never knives actually marked SKM, correct? All those different ways the Beltrame family marked knives all gets kind of crazy unless it's Frank B over ITALY, it could be Armando or Renzo or SKM. Who knows? Angelo was still selling the 2.75"- 4" keychains he said were SKM within the la...

Re: Found - Need Info

I see something stamped on the tang. Can you tell us what it says? Could be a U.S. importers stamp, which would mean it was likely bought in the U.S.. More than likely, a 1950’s kris blade picklock though, not pre-1945.

Re: Hubertus Tang Stamps and Etchings

The stamp/etches don't mention the bolster stamps like this little Liliput, where the blade etch doesn't mention Germany (just Solingen), but has the bolster stamp. I bought it as a 1960's knife, but I really don't know. Anyone? https://i.imgur.com/Mkch2aR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PcGAAXu.jpg https:/...

Re: Need work done on a switchblade

Hello, i recently bought a switchblade online and its beautiful except when closed the blade does not stay all the way closed. It opens just enough to expose the tip. My hope is to find someone who works on switchblades who can make it so that it stays locked all the way in when closed. The next se...

Re: Stilleto Italy etched on the blade

Is Stiletto Italy marked tang on the blade made by Renzo or Frank Beltrame or neither? If neither any idea who makes it? I've copied and pasted this info to use in various places time after time, thanks to our long time friend and member John. It's the one I've gone by. Here’s Frank’s timeline for ...

Re: Inox Wandy shell puller

Wow! I've never seen that model with a WANDY stamp on it! I would have guessed it were stamped Lepre. Wish you were in the States so Bill could replace the spring. Good luck with it!
