I have the exact same stamp on a 16cm transitional.
Supposedly, Wandy knives were made by the Mauro Mario consortium.

Re: Pastor Aleman
I have Pastor Aleman ("German Shepherd") on the tang of a 9" Rizzuto, with a little dog's head above it. I figured it was a contract knife, sourced from the same Japanese company that sent tons of Rizzuto's through Tijuana. Construction and condition is ten times better than any Rizzuto I've ever ow...

Re: mini Italians
I have a little 7cm stag model I bought for my wife when we were in Florence, Italy in 1987.
I bought a 20cm stag for myself, with "B" stamped on the tang.

Re: Vintage lockbacks -- #1 of 3

A Question About Collecting Vintage Switchblades
My mom used to collect Hummel figurines. She had some pretty rare ones, according to Hummel experts, including some from the early 1950s. She used to tell me they were worth at least six grand and when she kicked the bucket, I would get a lot of money for them. Well, she kicked the bucket about five...

Re: What got you into Switchblades?
Told my story here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29202&start=15
and said it was West Side Story that got me wanting a switchblade. But it may have been the book "The Outsiders" that I read in the 4th or 5th grade.
At my age, some memories turn to mush.

Re: Trying to Identify 3 Different Stiletto Knives Including a Black Beauty
Not a Rizzuto fan, but yours was made in Japan. This. "Rizzuto" is Italian, "Milano" is a city in Italy (obviously), while "Estileto" is... Spanish. And "Stainless Steel" is, well... fricking English. People used to call them Mexican switchblades because they were sold in Tijuana. But they were man...
