Sounds like 1950's picklocks, if they have buttons. A Florida importer by the name of Saul Eig. Surprised to hear they are "very sharp", as most aren't. They were imported from Maniago, Italy.

That's a beauty, boots!

Wow! That is certainly one unique "Frosolone" style knife from Renzo Pascotto! Nice!

Happy Birthday, Ian!

Very nice! Looks like the guards may have been replaced. A Spanish made knife, I believe. I've never handled one, but when you say others have "a button on the back to release the blade"(?), I'm not sure what you mean. I had thought they were all button open/button close. Do you mean others are a ...

Nice, Jim! I know near nothing about the dates on these little knives, myself. I know I've paid more than I should have for ones that weren't as old as I thought.
