Here are some mini picklocks sold in Italy as tourist souvenirs, usually with a silk tassel on the bottom.

Japanese picklocks
I have these three Japanese made picklocks but I don't know anything about them. How old are they, how rare, what market were they made for, etc. Any info on these will be appreciated.

my favorite latama...
I only have two latama
s in my collection, but this one stands out to me. It is 9 inches overall and in wonderful condition. What knocks me out about this knife is the gorgeous scales. They match on each side and are in perfect shape. Just wanted to share one of my faves!- Wed May 01, 2024 9:01 pm

Re: trapdoor from years past
I bought four switchblades, all different. I still have three of them. someone stole a 13 inch stag horn from me in college. The others are a stag 9 inch, an 11 inch BO/BC.
How I got them back home is a whole other story for another time.

Re: trapdoor from years past
My bucket list includes a trip to Maniago. At some point I need to know where to go there and what can be seen/experienced.

Re: trapdoor from years past
As I understand it, switchblades are now illegal in Italy, with some exceptions. what a shame!

trapdoor from years past
In 1968 I backpacked across Europe and in Rome I discovered switchblades. When I asked where to buy them I was told to go to the parfumerie. I did and bought this trapdoor for about $7. I then went to a hardware store and bought a bunch more. What a time! I brought them back and still have them. wis...

Re: German gravity knife
Thanks for that info which clarifies a lot. From what you said, mine looks to be a MC-1. Tang stamp is Schrade Walden, NY USA, stainless.

Re: German gravity knife
gravknife, great info! On closer look the bird stamp has a "5". There is a "3" stamped on the latch.

Re: German gravity knife
gravknife, I had not even noticed the bird on the marlin spike! Thanks for pointing that out. I does seem to have a number in it but I can't make it out. What is the significance of the number?
Do you have one of these knives?
