FROSOLONE SWITCHBLADE BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
As a result of personal great interest, a year and a half ago I began work on a book about Frosolone Switchblades. In February 2021 it was finally completed and I have since had a limited number of copies printed.
Using only knives from my personal collection, I present, for the first time, an in depth look at a distinctive style of switchblade made in Frosolone, Italy during the 1920s – 1940s. Contained within the 186 pages, are 15 sections, covering history, design, construction, insightful commentary and more. Additionally, 45 Frosolone switchblades of the era, both cutler-identified and unidentified are pictured, compared and discussed. I further strive to show how unidentified knives can be assigned to a specific Frosolone cutler or shop with some degree of accuracy.
Book Format – 8.5” X 11” paperback
If you would like additional information or to order a copy, you can contact me by email or via Facebook Messenger.
Thanks for looking !
