I'm new at this forum, but recently posted this similar 8" Made in Italy. With a bit of cleaning you'd have a nice knife there:

I actually just bought one very similar to this, have been planning to make a post about it but at the moment don't have a camera that will do it justice... great piece!

90% of my collection is 8 and 9 inch stilettos. I have all sizes, but 8'' Swedges and 9'' Bayos are definitely my favorite.
Knee-deep in the hoopla...

Thanks Texas 123 and Luke of Mass,
This is the smallest one I have in my collection. So Mauro Mario is the maker. The knife has survived well but has been sharpened. Here is a pic from the back.


Thanks for your responses.
Bruce

Lovely little picklock Bruce

These are beautifully made and I tend to put up with blades being slightly down on these older knives that have "had a life "so to speak.

I like the" Made in Italy "...Mauro Mario's ,its a great little addition to your collection mate.

It's also good to see you posting aswell ....havnt seen you around in a while and I am glad things are okay for you.

All the best

Gravknife,
I was down for the last 4 months. Aortic valve leaking so bad needed surgery to replace it. In the hospital for a few days. Just been recovering. Not working full time yet. Doing the Cardiac Rehab thin 3 days a week.

Very sorry to hear of your health issues Bruce.

Take it very easy ...even with the rehab and dont run before you can walk .

Concentrate on that great collection of knives you have and i hope the recovery goes very well for you.

Glad to see you back mate.

Regards

Ian

8"s and 9's are a fairly common size in the older knives so you should be able to find it a mate if you're looking. Just keep an eye on the auctions.
Had bypass surgery in 02 and it went well. Haven't run into any problems. They found an aneurysm in the aorta at the same time and kept an eye on it until last year when it got large enough that they finally put a stent in it. No problems with that either. Just stick with the rehab regimen and hope everything settles in. We'll be pulling for you.

Hello,
Thanks for the info on the knife. Rehab going well. I'm at the 6 week mark.

I got this 8" manual in a knife lot recently and it is marked "Made Italy 6". The Font looks to be the same as the Mauro Mario picklock I posted here. Is this a manual lock back with false button by the Mauro Mario?

Thanks
Bruce
