Rare vintage "Ring Cutlery - B Svoboda" picklock

Post by Peiper »

This one in my collection is a 13" knife. I only collect vintage 13" and 11", and flat guard knives now.

I've owned knives with that stamp but never in a 13". Great knife with gorgeous horn.

Is "Ring Cutlery - B Svoboda" and "B Svoboda" importers the same company? Were these knives made by Angelo Campolin?

Thanks for the replies.

I know Ring Cutlery was a California importer but does anyone know where they were based? What's the story on B. Svobody with B. Svoboda knives?

Just the feel of these knives remind me of Mauro Mario.( passing through their business).
