Thickness of backspring/blade...often found on my very favorite pieces lol.
More common 3mm on left and 5mm on right (quick example)

"New" Rizzys or keychains?

It's just like I always say, if you list an auto on Ebay, always start the bids at $.99. That second one probably won't sell even if they lowered it from $155 to $75. It's all about getting multiple bidders early on. So, it's all about the human nature of competition...."He can't have it if I can't...

Good one Dave! Sad, but true.

Tom...I must not know if these are "rare" or not, but it's just amazing the prices going on lately! viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25333

Is there a certain Ganzo model that you prefer, or are all Ganzos recommended?

I just HAD to share this, in case anyone may of missed it. A, what I believe to be, common switchblade trinket/keychain at 2.75" long, just sold for $111.00 on a certain "site by the Bay".

Happy New Year everyone!

Bill...what or why is "first run" stamped on some styles? I can see "limited edition" (meaning only a certain number produced).

I may of caused some confusion...I bought the Speed Hunter pictured above and was just wondering what other members thoughts were on them. Where I may find some "history" on the First Run or if they are indeed discontinued. I did notice that AKC changes their tang stamp, so hard to tell older from n...

You are welcome to send the pics to me and I’d be glad to post them for you. Sent you PM.

For some un-known reason, I've been into the smaller variety of switchblades lately to add to my larger version collection. The 7" AKC Speed Hunter caught my attention, so I started my search. I really wanted a single blade version, but when I saw that this piece was "First Run" but double bladed (k...

Welcome djones and a very valid question. Reminds me of my 1st Rizzuto as a kid. I'd try to impress my friends with it only to find it deployed in my pocket. Awkward to pull out and losing the interest of my small audience nearly immediately. Wasn't a very impressive display lol. I try to collect ma...
