Re: Beltrame Family
It seems the Maniago family is getting smaller, what a shame. Do you think traditional Italian knife making is slowly disappearing? I'm hoping this isn't the case. I've noticed they've tried driving towards more modern efforts above and beyond the traditional styles yet traditionals haven't been fu...

Re: 15"/38cm Rosco Pick Lock Find
There's STILL gold in them thar hills!
Thanks so much for the post. It provides me with hope.
To paraphrase Lone Watie (Chief Dan George in "The Outlaw Josey Wales"), I shall endeavor to persevere in my searches for such sweet rock candy!
Happy New Years gents and miscreants!

Re: Red Rose Tang Stamp
Thanks Killgar. That's a sweet looking little knife indeed!
Is there a thread here, guess I'll try searching. Never heard of this one. I'm curious to their history.

Re: My very modest Automatic Knife Collection...
That's a nice little collection you got going there brother. If I had a choice I'd pick the EdgeCo. I am partial to, and primarily collect, stilettos. Mostly the more modern Italians. I have a couple of Edge stilettos, manual operation, from the 80s I got through their catalog. They're white Pearlex...

Re: Latama's New Offerings
Wow, is that knife from PVK? I remember when I first saw a couple of those bones and skulls on at least two Latamas they were selling maybe a year ago but I hemmed and hawed too long and they were gone. I even emailed them and asked if there'd be any more and they said maybe if they could get more k...

Re: Red Rose Tang Stamp
Thanks for your response, Ive been out of the loop for a while, I'm getting back into building a collection. Yes it is! Are there red flags with this knife you are aware of? I curious why this one is still available. Now, I'm curious? Did you acquire it? And where can I go to see what this knife lo...

Re: 10 in. Renzo Pascotto
And maybe I'm looking in the wrong places too, but Pascotto's stamps seem to have become even more rare to market! I hear shows are a good place to go if one is looking. Or fishing on FB, which isn't really my thing as I only manage to check those places out once or twice a week and you've gotta be ...

Re: 10 in. Renzo Pascotto
It's gorgeous Jim. Congrats! I've managed to pick up two 10 inch picklocks in the last few weeks here myself! I got one of these new Renzos that was offered here and it's a definite beast. Everything you pointed out was present. Then just a few days ago I finally scored an AGA 10 inch. I've never ha...

Re: Custom switchblade
No doubt if he keeps with it his name will be very popular and work in high demand. I'm not on FB regularly but I went back last night and reviewed most of his posts, and work, and remain very impressed. As I commented on one of the posts, we need more guys like him, young bloods who aren't just obs...

Re: Custom switchblade
I've seen Liam's work on the FB groups, and it is impressive. Where's he located, or did you say and I just missed it. Just curious if he's state-side. Seems a proper built blade indeed. The Pakistani guy I mentioned is Muhammad Afaaq. He runs a group there called Afaaq's Switch Blades. The pictures...

Re: Custom switchblade
That's a sweet looker brother! Who made it, I've seen that stamp in one of the FB groups. I was messaging with a guy in Pakistan who's cranking out some pieces that are pretty unique looking, just to see what his prices were like. He said he could do a 9 inch picklock in horn for 230 USD. I was temp...

Re: Help on id a frank b 11 stiletto
Yeah, through the past few years I've bought a few boxes of Magpul 5.56 mags every now and then. Just in case. I'm waiting for the day when these crazies manage to get mags over 20 or even 10 round capacity banned. Can't trust them to be level-headed in Washington any more. It's all reactive politic...

Re: Latama's New Offerings
Can't help but love that pic brother, and I've never seen a 1911 I didn't like either. Back in the 80s, I used to have a brace of Lt. Commander 1911s with the shorter bull barrels! Well balanced in hand and a bit more concealable, still heavy as lead compared to what you can carry in that caliber th...
