Managed to get a couple more pictures of the knife along with some of the others that were in the same lot and may add to why I believe it to be Chinese knock off. Nice stag on the one and they all work good but really don't look like Italian quality to me and no brass liners on any of them. Actual...

That knife needs taken to a professional. It will likely need to be taken apart and have the spring and rivets replaced. May need new scales as well.

Where do they sell Contini knives? Don’t recall seeing any on the sites where I usually shop for switchblades.

You got a good deal on this one at $60. If the safety is the only thing wrong with it, I personally wouldn’t worry about it. When it comes to stilettos I make it a point not to carry my genuine Italian ones. Those strictly stay in my collection as I would probably have a breakdown if I lost one of t...

I keep them around specifically for that. Just to play around with while watching TV. If they break, no biggie. It’s my high end Italian knives that I try to leave alone. If one of them broke, it would cost a bit to send them to a professional to have them fixed.

So I had someone comment on one of my knife video shorts on YouTube that the Italian-style stiletto switchblade I was showing off wasn’t a switchblade because “a switchblade shoots straight out.” I proceeded to correct him by telling him that is wrong and that by definition, anything that opens auto...

That giant fish one in the top photo looks like it might require two hands to open it! How much does it weigh?

Would love to get my hands on an 18 inch or 15 inch myself. They’re becoming scarce.

Well, it's "official"...Direct from the source, Angelo's online store. AKC WORLD. My heart is officially broken. 'Tis a dark day, folks! https://i.imgur.com/ldkIn9W.jpg Ugh! Whoever thought that design was a good idea must have been smoking dope! LOL! The Roma’s on the other hand are actually prett...

Spotted a couple switchblades in 1990’s Skinned Alive. One appeared to be a black EdgeCo Black Finger OTF and another appeared to be a red Japanese “Bullfighter” leverlock.

I noticed the AKC World stamp on a few of the knives that have popped up recently. So I guess we can assume Angelo arranged to have a Chinese company produce some AKC products? With the way things are at the moment and everything coming from China these days, wouldn’t surprise me if he decided it wa...

They are both legit. The one on the left is likely from the 1960s and the other one was probably made in the 1970s. Although some collectors are critical of these knives because they are cheaply made, they are old enough now that there is a high interest in them. The Rizzuto was in many movies and ...

Never seen one like this. Wonder when it’s from. I’m guessing 1970s?

Sounds like some drama just went down. Hope whatever unpleasantness it was has been put behind us.
