Re: EARLY MANIAGO SWITCHBLADE

We r fortunate to have the depth of cutlery knowledge on this forum that we do. I'm sure we'll hear more info on this knife as we get additional impute from others. What a great find!

Re: Comparing Similar Picklocks

Both r quite nice... outstanding. It’s a great comparison that shows just how unique the different makers approached cutlery design. The Red Rose looks as though it has a real sharpened blade edge. Most of the knives that I have can’t cut string.

Re: Latama wasp

That’s a great 8” example. In my opinion the “Wasp” body is one of the more striking forms. Do u know if the lock tab is original to the knife? Is that considered an oversized lock tab?

Re: Plain Jane among beauty queens

Ur plain Jane is a real standout. I would venture to say that most ppl reading this forum and others can only wish they had a plain Jane. I’d love to have a black horn, crisp opening centered bladed Mauro Mario. Most excellent presentation jim d.

Re: A few I have out

Very nice grouping. IMCO and A & K... don't see these stamps as often as the other's. Are these stamps somewhat rare compared to Latama and Mauro Mario?

Re: 8’ Inox stamped bo/bc derby bolster 2 piece spring wasp dark horn

Nice knife. But don’t think it is considered a derby bolster. I could be mistaken.

Re: Since Latama's are the subject of the week.

Looks like u r tight on room for all ur Latamas. I’d like to volunteer at taking a couple off ur hands. Then ur others could breath easier. On a more serious note... that is an absolutely outstanding collection. Most excellent!
