He does do amazing work without being snobby and arrogant.

It’s a very early Hubertus. It’s model #4001 Hh Those with an actual tang stamp punched into the steel are the earlier models. Any with the etch lengthwise on the blade itself are more recent models. I have a catalog page I can post from a 1950s Hubertus catalog I found. This one is very collectible...

I dont think they are father and son.

Thanks Captain

runninglate I believe this is a newer example aswell. The older ones have 6 scale and bolster pins to your five ,and the really older ones have nickle silver hardware aswell as this. Heres one I have with similar scales not ancient but it has 6 pins ,one for the backspring. Heres an older one in st...

The ones with this horizontal INOX are good ones from the 1970s.

At one time, not so long ago, these were commonly sold for $14.99. For some very strange reason unknown to me, along with the soaring prices of the Rizzuto Estileto Milano, I've seen these 2.75" keychain stilettos fetch up to $200 on "The Bay". Both the Rizzy and keychain phenomenon prices seem to ...

Looms like the newest and mostly cheaply made model. A picture of the backspring would tell me more. Worth about $35.

A lot of early post war Coricama knives seem like they are missing the safety caps. ( like those engraved Edwin Jays and engraved Latamas).

The maker from the 30s thru the 1960?? That’s not true. Elio DiBin passed away probably 50 years ago. It wasn’t Elio.

It was Oreste DiBon. My friend Lucio DiBon was good friends with Oreste who passed away about 5 years ago.

Not very old. I think many of these were put together in the early 2000s. And also in stag. Someone will probably know who the man was who put them together.

I thought the same thing...

Do you say this because they are made with steel bolsters and played? Did Anton Wingen have this trait?

Maybe it’s a secret...

I have a few B Svoboda picklocks, but this is my first B Svobody. I have read Svobody was the European spelling of Svoboda and both spellings imported by Ring Cutlery of California. I wasn't the best in Geography, but isn't Italy part of Europe? So, why the different spellings? https://i.imgur.com/...
