Re: A couple of my favorite classic Frank B’s (that sound when it closes!

Italian switchblades have had quality control problems since at least the 1980s with many that have non-functioning safeties, and I hate to hear the quality is going even further down hill. Sorry Panzerfaust. I went on such a rant yesterday about this issue, that I decided to pretty much rewrite th...

Re: Vintage "Edwin Jay" 11 inch

I really like this switchblade and the beautiful horn, it’s like everything was tailored made and belongs together. Just a fantastic example of a very rare and enigmatic beauty! Enjoy 👍

Re: Latama 13 inch Pair

Enclosed are a couple of nice old 13 inch Latama models. Latama certainly offered some wonderful horn on many of their knives. Those two are great! I also really like how the horn is flush with the bolsters and wraps around the whole handle really nicely. I prefer this style much more over the more...

I have a similar that I purchased a few years back and then had converted to a shellpuller with new horns. I carry this a lot..and really enjoy it, super knife. B...

Re: Recent "Frank B Limited Edition" Addition

Hey all, this is my one and only Frank B limited edition 9 inch Picklock with high grade stag horn! I love the classic dagger grind blade profile. She has Rock solid lockup on this little gem 💎 it’s from the 07 run and actually it isn’t numbered! *a little tidbit of info*. I heard these 9ers are Fra...

Re: Recent "Frank B Limited Edition" Addition

Here's my 11" Frank B flatguard picklock from approx. 2004 when I believe he started with the flat buttons... The first flat buttons appeared on the initial run of Walt's Flatguard which Walter Halucha had Frank make for him back in mid 2004. These knives were numbered on the back of the tang (2 of...
