Hi Folks: This arrived today after a lot of searching for these limited edition beauties. I'm still looking for a 2019 11' or 13". I made a trade with Frank S. for a 28cm last month, so have one but these knives are special. I think Pascotto's work on these stilettos is almost unparalleled. Also, I ...

Thanks Tom. Appreciate the feedback.

For Sale: New Latama that I just purchased. 28cm Black Forest Stag [half Grind]. "One blade over the line, sweet Jesus One blade over the line Sitting downtown in a railway station One blade over the line" Spent more than the boss approves of so hoping to find a new home for it. Asking what I paid. ...

When I purchased : There was no snakewood (a very pretty wood) and my Burl did not "have no stinkin' ruby" :>( Some nice pieces there!

This 7.5 inch bayo is a Frank B. swivel bolster if you want it. White dog hair not included.

Wow! That's amazing and amazingly fun. I'd love to see a vid of somebody flipping that thing.

Hi All: United Parcel dropped off a package this afternoon that came from Montauk, NY. Hmmm...I wonder what that could be. 2021 Latama flat guard picklocks, maybe? Notables: No tang info other than the Cat and "Latama" over "Italy". Mine are daggers plus one Damascus dagger plus one half grind. Scal...

Natch: I'd like to buy the Damascus bladed version, please. I PM'd you, too.

Dang Jackalope. I seriously doubt that but I agree that she is pretty.

Hi FolkS: For Sale -- Four Frank Beltrame swivel bolster stilettos -- 9" and 11". Get out your black lights and let these fluorescent Day-Glo pieces bring you back to the 60s'. I think these were made about five years ago and the VERY light tangs are stamped "Frank B. over "Italy". The 28cm price is...

Here are my five. I had a blonde that is in the mail to Frank S.

Thanks for additional clarification Ivano. Also looking forward to holding one of those swinguards! Walt told me those swinguards were also going to be a true 11 inches and not 28 centimeters. Any reason this was done? And the most important question, when is he releasing those ;^) ?

Hi Folks: My first 1950s (date-range?) picklock. The scales are coming away at the handles and the blade has some slight ud ss movement. But the scales aren't loose and it has great action with a nice snap when fired. After sharing some photos with Jeremy, he provided this additional feedback: "...i...

I too just purchased one of these little tykes a couple of weeks ago. Yours is definitely different than mine. No ears or bottom bolster on yours, and it has a short blade.

Ivano: You provide good insight into my so-much-to-learn tiny brain. So maybe you said it but I still don't quite understand. Is there a way to visually tell the difference between honey horn and tip horn and are you saying they potentially can come from the same animal's single horn? Thank you. Chuck
