Two abalone jewels from R. Pascotto

Post by Blitz »

Just got two beautiful Renzo Pascotto knives i wanted to share with you guys. One is a slant model 25cm which is number 2 of 6 (24 in total made). The other one is a 10'' picklock.

Thoughts?

Thank you guys!

@gravknife Indeed! Also the slant model is quite unique as the shape is very angular. Its a solid thick knife. Also was in love with the big flat locking mechanism.

@julesvane I started as a AGA Campolin fan but now turning more towards Pascotto knives. I will keep collecting them both i think but its not a cheap hobby lol :)

...just keep in mind, that the knives designed and built by Renzo Pascotto, are often on consignment for A.G.A. Campolin and so stamped. The 13" swinguards (standard/batwing), The Catalana, The 10"-5mm picklocks, The 11" & 13" wasp body flatguard picklocks, The Frosolone models, and I'm sure more than I'm aware of, are outstanding knives. I agree that those laser etched "Pascotto Renzo" are more in demand and very limited than those he built and stamped A.G.A. Campolin, but same/great knives!

They are beauties but kind of boxy for my taste.

I regret missing out on the slant bolsters when they were available... I like that they were pick locks and not BO/BC as well. Beautiful knives!

Thank you all =)

The boxy shape of it is the reason why i like it so much because it
deviates from the standard and create something unique. After all the knife
has no edc purpose but pure a collection item.

I like it! But I'd have to get a toothbrush after those grooves!
