Looks like they sold out. They were on knifeshop.com a few days ago. They go fast.
Damn, missed it. Not lucky this time :(

I prefer the Black Widow with the bottom bolsters. This version is a good looking stiletto. I don’t own one, but I’d would like to add one to my collection.

PVK had a Brazilian horn for $430.
I don’t recall what the Knife shop was selling the knife for.

Thanks John, I’ve dealt with Josh at PVK awhile back, he had a really nice multi-knife bag with insignia on the side.
I haven’t dealt with Knife Shop, the VAT was a little high, and some complained about Beltrames quality at the time as being a crap shoot, hit or miss !

I get the impression from the shellpuller thread that this is not always a certain thing with the Maniago cutlers.
As mentioned above, they're back! They've just about doubled in price since the original prototypes were released, but very much in demand.

This time with bottom bolsters. I was lucky enough to visit the website before they send a mail about it. I bought
the stag one with file work on it. Stag version is already sold out :)

Is it possible that they have stored these knives from first or second production run and are selling them now and then? Demand is very high on these knives so they get double the money easy..

I’m fairly certain they are brand new builds. I highly doubt Angelo would hold back on making money 🤣.
