Re: Commemorative Switch to Honor Rick Giroux
if they're anywhere in the price range that those 150 piece limited editions are fetching, may probably be too much money. But, certainly a great thought (if the price were right).

Re: Commemorative Switch to Honor Rick Giroux
Hi Barb. That's quite an undertaking that I'm positive Rick would surely love.

Ahh...Dremel tool. God knows I could wipe the bolsters with a cloth and polish until the cows came home with no real results lol.

Re: Walt's 23cm
Thanks for posting this Thom. Certainly the availability of this run of 9"ers has been a bit of mystery. The numbers on the French Tip Horn goes to 32, and only 3 in stock? This is the first I've seen ANY French Tip. They don't seem to be flying off the shelves at PVK. Luke: I'm hoping the ones you ...

Re: "Older" Swinguards
Jeff: Beautiful examples you have! Thanks for posting them. Never get tired of the older swinguards. As I had originally started this thread looking to pin down the makers, I conclude that's near impossible. Is your "IRN NICROSTENDE" stamp a maker or importer?

Re: WTB: Frank B OTF Stiletto in Ivory
...as Sammy suggested. The Lightning comes in white. Also, the AKC F-16 comes in white. Cream colored may be tough.sammy the blade wrote:You might find a lightning in white, check out grindworks.com, I think.

Re: Recommendation for first OTF Stiletto
Hi Dave. Might you be confused between a Stiletto and an OTF? The closest I've seen that's an OTF that looks like a Stiletto would be a BURN made piece. I'm not familiar with any OTFs made by Frank Beltrame.

Re: "Older" Swinguards
Thanks Jeremy. Great examples there. I guess it really doesn't matter that no maker's stamp be placed on knives from Maniago. Even with modern production of today's stamped pieces, seems we never really know how many hands the piece has passed through to get to us. The maker's stamp seems to be the ...

Re: "Older" Swinguards
Ahh, okay. Got it Jeremy and thanks. I figured these to be Italian made, just threw me at the 1959 German patent. So, these generic stamps can mean ANY Italian maker?JimBrown257 wrote:They aren't made in Germany; they are made in Italy. Some of them have the shorter standard blade meant for the German market.

Re: "Older" Swinguards
Thanks Charlie and Jeremy. I had (naturally) never even considered possible German production. Very interesting.

"Older" Swinguards
Hi all...I was wondering...We know about the makers of the more modern swinguards by their stamp. Commonly: A.G.A. Campolin's 13", Frank Beltrame's 11" and AKC's 9". But, so many of the "older" swinguards (1960's?), usually are just generic stamps such as: INOX, ROSTFREI, MADEINITALY, PATENT, etc..W...

Re: SWEET PAIR of Buck 110's Customized By Joe Kelly
Amazing Barb! I (we) have seen some beautifully polished stainless steel and these are great examples. All the stainless steel bolsters in my collection, turn that rather ugly gray (grey?) color. I wish I knew how to mirror shine them anywhere near your examples. Really nice!
