Re: Stamp ID
It seems to be a factory stamp to my untrained eye. From which? Anyone's guess.

Re: Stamp ID
It's a Beltrame. Is that one a slip-joint or is the locking pin just not visible behind the bolster? I have seen a few Beltrame slip-joints but I think they had a lower case 'b' over Rostfrei.
Re: Stamp ID
looks like a tilt bolster.

Red ~ How about a few more photos? I'd be interested to see the scales and other details.
Are the guards lined? How old do you think this piece is? It's an interesting find....

Re: Stamp ID
Here’s Frank’s timeline for stamps:
1960-70 BV&F was used by Frank's father
Before 1996 Frank's old tang stamp was lower case b (capital letter "B" was used by Renzo B)
1996 to 2004 Frank used Stiletto Italy (AB Cutlery in 1996 also used Stiletto Italy. So, it is difficult to know for sure for 3-4 years)
2003-2004 Frank started using Frank B
Your knife might be made by Renzo Beltrame

Re: Stamp ID
Would this be considered the lower case "b"?

Re: Stamp ID
Yeah, I think that is the stamp I have seen on the slip-joint ones. Is that one a slip-joint?
I never saw one with the Germany stamp but I think they were made for the German market.

Re: Stamp ID
I'm not very familiar with slip-joint. I actually thought it was a term with manual knives lol. But, here's the entire knife, in case that helps. Just a regular 8", full blade length that matches the body...JimBrown257 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 11:16 am
