The 15"AGA Sicilian is a real beauty. But why did AGA go with the standard button & safety instead of the shield type that they showed on the picture "new stuff" on this forum about a year ago? The 16" Danuvius has the shield type button & really makes that knife stand out. In my opinion AGA really blew it. They also should have made those wood scales avaliable thats on the pictured knife. In other words "make it like the first one you made in the picture, Angelo"!

Re: AGA Sicilian Question
I agree. I have one of the prototypes with the shield button and prefer it to the standard round button and safety. The shield is flush so no safety is required.

Re: AGA Sicilian Question
Hello Lawrence and natcherly,
WOW The shield and wood scales look wicked cool. I have the production version button with safety and horn scales. My knife had a ring pull, but I really didn't like it, so I had Bill DeShivs customize it for me with a fulcrum, just slip your thumb under it and the blade is released. The horn is very nice, but the prototype looks so cool.

Re: AGA Sicilian Question
not sure why they didnt use the shield button instead of the traditional button and safety set up but i was told by Angelo they will be making these again with shield button but will be like 12 or 13 inches in open position, the new 12's will be made with wood like what was used on proto types also with blond,blackhorn stag handles. now when these will be available i have no idea but these are planned for the future but as stated they will be slightly smaller at 12 or 13 inches open.
