TalkBlade.Info Knife Forums

The black one was purchased in Spain in 1988, The stag one (faux) is a recent gift to me from a former collegae. The scale was broken and it didn't lock. But now it does

No Mike, I ment I never saw that knife in real life here, although there were a lot of Spanish knives around here in the 70's and 80's.

Congrats. What you have there will suit my displaycase very well. But I will post some pics soon.

[quote="Jason Bourne"]Is this a new type of design, or have they been around before?

Spanish Stiletto's have used this design for decades, as far as I know.

Yeah, that's the holy grail in Spanish Stiletto's.....If we ever can get one of those. Btw. Never saw one of those Hellraisers here in Europe.

Recently we got our hands on another vintage Spanish switchblade. We have one in black and one in imit. stag now.
Have there ever been another type of scales available on Spanish switchblades?. If so, pics please

My Frank B. 11" swinguard is a real good snapper. My son ownes 2 vintage spanish coilspring stiletto's and they are realy, realy fast.

Can anyone tell me some more about the history of the swingguard switchblade. The only swingguards I see in movies seem to be rizzuto's. Did they not manufacture Swingguards in Italy until the 60's? Because in the older movies they all seemed to be fixedguard Italian style stiletto's.
