8" Rosco Picklock

Post by texans123 »

Hi Gents -
This 8" Rosco Picklock is one of my favorites. An Ebay purchase from back when they allowed switchblades on the site. Has really nice scales, smooth hard snap etc. and only a very small amount of blade movement in the opened position.
Regards -

Beautiful Jackalope

Thatstunning horn on these Roscos looks phenomenal.

How the hell do you go about collecting a set of rare knives such as these?

It's hard enough to assemble a size set of mixed maker knives but to have both bayonets and kriss Rosco blade stamped is mindblowing.

Is that lever a Rosco aswell?
It's a beauty ,i didn't even know they existed.

Thanks for sharing them Jackalope....it's great for a beginner to see exactly what there is to be found .
The 13 inches Kriss and bayonet are just beauties....what a collection.

Hope your well
