Coltellerie Bufalo

[BestVintageKnives]

Old light-up store Display sign. Great for a man cave or center piece to an Italian collection display.

Great maker. He was the man producing 15” stilettos in the early 1950s. Both rounded guards and flat guards.

Everyone claims Angelo Campolin Sr was the first maker after WW2 to make 15” stilettos. That’s wrong. Volumes of wrong information and material started circulating around this time and repeated wrong time and time again by Americans trying to figure everything out and no documentation for guidance. Just more old outdated and wrong info from around 2004.

Angelo Sr. did however have other secret inventions and companies it’s true, (even his own family didn’t know about some of his inventions. I had to tell his family about some of them as they had no idea).

As we say in litigation and trials “the devil is in the details.” You can’t just take one piece of info and state it as fact. You really need to cross reference and thankfully we can do this in the modern age

Here’s an artists proof of a post card. If I’m not mistaken the written text is something about getting the colors a certain way.

Here is a post-WW2 15” flat guard. Several in this size are seen with rounded guards.

Here is a Bufalo stamped Grafting and Budding knife that I am posting here just for the example of the stamp. First knife I have ever owned by this maker and I am sure it is related to the maker of the automatic knives. 4 1/8" closed with horn handles. Both the cutting blade and the folding brass spud snap hard to the open and closed positions. A very well made and stout knife.

Sweet knife, thanks for posting.
