Thank you Ian...I love your honey horn version as well. Yes, this style is really very appealing to the eye (IMO). As of late, not sure why, some of the smaller swinguards have caught my interest. Being so small, the snap is surely a strong one. I once, and only once, heard this Italian version refe...

Realizing the actual Puma Medici was German made, I've only heard pieces such as this referred to as "Medici".

Hey Bernie...Just noticing your 11" cat logo is without the tiny "W" in it. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but just to clarify, does the lack of it indicate a first run piece (as I was told by the seller that sold me one without it)? Though I'm sure I was sold a first run piece, I'm...

Is it my understanding that, originally, switchblades were never sharpened at all? Only meant to get one's "point" across?
