That first photo of a black stiletto. . .
it is a Japan knife. . . the bolster is an identifier.
It's missing a tail lanyard Bail. ( like a rizzuto)

Re: Flea market catch
Finally that inox leverlock has arrived. It's a good catch for 19 bucks, but I have a strange feeling about it

Re: Flea market catch
Looks like a legit Italian leverlock. For $19? Can’t go wrong!

Re: Flea market catch
BTW I got another knife I don't know how to identify, the seller told me it's RPK, but I saw only couple of RPK gun letter openers and the construction and quality was different. No stamps on the blade. I'll order modern italian version if I find it here.

Re: Flea market catch
The last 2 knives are Italian. The gun knife is old, rare, and valuable.

Re: Flea market catch
Good morning, everyone.
Here are two new switchblades I got from local classifieds sites. One is m.italy stamped swivel bolster. The story says it was bought by Soviet engineer in Italy in late 1960 when he was on a business trip to Italy because he was part of the Togliatti automobile factory delegation when USSR decided to develop mass car production for the people and bought an automobile factory from FIAT. Cars based on that design have been made till 2010s)
But back to knives, m.italy was on the shelf since then.
Other is japanese automatic, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong. Button open/button close mechanism.
