After whats gotta be at least a year of looking at the picklocks on SKM/Ab's site and seeing "not avalible at this time" I clicked the build yours box and it seems just the pictured config is not avalible. DOhhhhhh!!!!!! So I ordered one up. Stag handles with a ats-34 blade to stick in my pocket fo...

my first switchblade 10-1/2" or 11" whatever size they are was a black handle rizzuto i bought from a kid for 5 bucks he told me his dad got it in mexico on vacation, least to say he stole it from his dad then sold it to me , my second switchblade i got when i was 11yrs old was a 13" swedge blade tr...

awesome knives i love the Rizzutos also as it was very first switchblade i ever owned, mine was a 11" with step bolster bayonet blade and black plastic handles ,i lost it a few months after i had as i was only 11yrs old when i had it and carried it everywhere , ive been looking for another just like...

i know there were picklocks in the 50's stamped Rostfrei but when they first started i have no idea but my guess is late 1950's.

gunner im not trying to dis your knife at all just telling you what i was told many years ago by some collectors who had original 60's swings as no one seen any with brass safeties till this bunch was discovered ,i could be mistaken but i think it may have been Angelo who found them and had the bras...

Hi dave the position of the button on gunners knife is indeed a 1960's model only thing not original is brass safety, everything else looks original its just the safety thats all.
Thanks Bernie

Thanks guys!! That white swing guard in the spine pic is an early lockback Rizzuto. Metalgod: I'm not saying that they didn't recently assemble swing guards with brass buttons, I'd just never heard of them. But I've got to disagree that one can simply say all those with brass safety caps are the "n...

hi gunner dont know who told you but the swinguards from the 60's were definetly NOT made with brass safeties i know this for fact you can ask any old time collector and they will tell you what i told you as it wasnt till a few years ago they started popping up with brass safeties, the ones with bra...

hi they are great edc's dont have to ever worry about it opening in your pocket, and they stay sharp , cant go wrong with a hubertus or any type leverlock .

BEAUTIFUL knife my friend , man you do some awesome custom work , thanks for sharing with us.

Hi gunner not sure if you know or not the 11" with the brass safety is not 100% original, there were a bunch of vintage swings found a few years back with bad or no front and back handles and were re-handled and brass safety was added cause they didnt have original safeties available, i bought a com...

it very well could be made of buffalo horn , rams horn or stag handles as these are materials they used back in 1950's for their knives, pictures would be able to tell us more, hope this helps.
Thanks Bernie ******Folgore Knives USA******

Hi Bill the new editions are supposed to have the bottom liner(full cut) covering the ears or guards ,the liners are also to be made thicker , the swivel bolster will be brass lined like the 60's transitionals, and all the bolsters are to be made of nickel/silver instead of stainless, not sure how s...
