23cm FARO Pick Lock

Post by Highspeedsteel »

Just brought in this cool stamp that I can't find much info on (a few posts in the old SD forum but very little as to origins or who was involved) FARO means lighthouse, which is the image on the stamp. The back of the ricasso has INOXID so it makes me think it's a late-50s knife possibly... Enjoy!

Faro is /was a Swiss cutlery that merged with the Dutch Sola. Sola resided in my hometown back in the seventy's, famous for making spoons and forks.

Are the liners and bolsters one piece? Steel or Aluminum?

Brass liners and steel bolsters... it's a fairly heavy knife for being a 23cm but just doesn't seem to be much info on them out there

Wow, the bolsters appear to be nickel silver. You say they are steel?
