A rizzuto is a cheap oriental novelty

I've never seen a clone of one

There are Korean ones made , even poorer quality than the originals.

O.K. I'll concede the point

The ones made by the JA pan company were a little better than the Korean ones

But even those were made BEFORE "Made in Japan" was a mark of quality

Neither ones were stamped with the country of origin, just the deceptive "Italian [like]" name

We've been through this before, the ones that Josh calls "Rizzutos are NOT "Rizzutos" they are currently produce Italian Swinguards [last time I looked] and better knives

No problem

It's just sooner or later many "Rizzuto" questions end up with "PVK has 'em".
It's happened so often that I'm tempted to "sticky and lock" a thread "PVK does NOT have Rizzys"

Their price [about $75] for a much BETTER knife is not bad at all but they are not the old oriental curiousities so many people seem to be looking for [for some unknown reason]

There were some that was made in taiwan afew years ago. They were complete turds not much better than the switchblade combs. They came with a flat ground blade without springs but had a slot to install one, Press and roll pins, and a peek guard. Here's a pic with a rizzy.

Do Rizzutos ever lock up tight?

Those black ones were actually made by Bell Metal Company in Korea and imported by KOAMERICAN Import of NYC. They came in 9" and 11". They wre total Sh-t compared to the older Japan ones....
