My New Custom Rizzuto

Post by Switch King »

Hello Knife Frinds,
today I present to you my new Custom Batwing Rizzuto. In my eyes, it has become very beautiful. It was made by Jim Brown.
The black plastic handles were replaced with very nice Brazil Cown Horn. The fuse and the opening button have been replaced. They are made of Nickel Silver. The rocker was also made new. The rocker is a custom job. There was prepared a completely new rockers.
What can I say? All around a beautiful knife.
Thanks Jeremy!



PS: Excuse my bad english

Thanks, all.

I was really happy with how that one came out. It was missing the scales, rocker and safety so I made all those. Those swedge-blade Batwings have the flat-top buttons (which unfortunately means a zinc rocker). So I made the button with a flat NS button (and, of course, the new rocker is steel).

I considered putting a red dot on it because I think they look good on Brazilian horn but I ultimately decided against it as Rizzutos don't normally have them.

Here are a few other ones I've done recently.

Oh, one other thing: I got that black & white Brazilian horn from Walt at the Latama site.

That red/black/orange swirl one looks fantastic, I like that black (possibly korean?) one at the bottom with no bolsters also, great looking knives Jeremy!

Love these rizzies
That's a great knife Switch king ,congratulations on it. 8)
The scales suit it just right and I'll bet it feels weighty in hand with these.
I love rizzies but yet to own one.

Jeremy
Excellent work mate.
Those amber and black scales are awesome ,they look brilliant on a rizz.I'd love one just like it.The back scale looks like it has a Japanese letter in it.
I love the white pearlex and guardless rizzies also,I've got to get one after seeing these.
Great work my freind.

When things calm down here I'll send you a pm for a custom Rizzutto,just hope you can get those scales again.

I agree 100% ...While original Rizzys weren't the best knives out here , it was one of the coolest ( my opinion) :D
