Are u sure that’s a 13”? I could be and probably am incorrect but it looks like an 11” to me. Maybe we could get the post originator, Peiper to verify. In any account that is prize to cherish.

Re: ROMO with faux lock
Yes as I mentioned above these are slip joint knives. There were never automatic Romo stamped knives with the slip joint. Terry Levigne did make some as you mentioned. I was responding to the point that there were switchblades made like this. I pointed out the two that I have. I never said that eit...

Re: ROMO with faux lock
Check out eBay item 114825863292 -- it's a vintage Italian "Romo" brand manual-open stiletto with a fake lock.... it looks like an ordinary stiletto lock, but there is no "doughnut hole" or pin to go in. I don't think I've ever seen this before; and I have to wonder if any switchblades were made li...

No sir. Block letters that r left to right on back tang. No angle. There is a blank oval positioned above center the word ROSTFREI. No front tang stamp.JimBrown257 wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 10:15 pm Are your Medicis the ones with the slightly diagonal Rostfrei stamp?

Re: "Marca Oro" -- 1950s switchblade
That's a very nice find indeed. Most Excellent on the Marca Oro. I'd like to know where your flea market is. The mid-TN area doesn't have crap for Gun and Knife Shows or flea markets.

Re: French Vendetta
Not sure what Mikov springs look like as I don't own one or seen Mikov knives in person. But I have attached a picture showing the springs of the Vendetta springs as they sit in the knife well.

Re: French Vendetta
I am pretty sure I see a leaf spring in the larger black one. And any knife with the button through the pivot like the smaller one would have to have a leaf spring. Hey Jeremy - I have one of these and mine actually has two leaf springs. The setup is the same as a couple of other small knives that ...
