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

Re: Chinese? Italian? Worth fixing?
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...

Re: Does anyone on this site enjoy cheap Chinese autos for "click therapy"?
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.

Does anybody else find this annoying?
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?

Re: Looking for 18 inch AGA Campolin
Would love to get my hands on an 18 inch or 15 inch myself. They’re becoming scarce.

Re: alphabetized list of Switchblades in Films
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.

Re: AKC Roma - Clarification of Origin
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...

Re: Rizzy Confusion...
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?

AKC Xtreme Evo Ace
Just scored a green handle, satin blade AKC Xtreme Evo Ace side opening auto. This one is really nice! Opens as smooth as a Kershaw Launch. Good budget auto. Also scored an AKC ‘NATO Military’ OTF. Has a flat grind, single edge chrome blade. Has the same feel in opening as my AKC Black Finger. Very ...

Re: This OJD or DJD INOX tang stamp is proving elusive...
That’s a really nice knife, krhastie! Such a shame a piece of the horn scale is missing on the back. Somebody needs to fill in that gap with a material that’s similar.
