Got your PM bro, I wish I could afford it now; but make sure you get good bucks for it!!

Oh yeah, Buffalo horn, grinding compliments the drunkin' grinder!! Haha.
These baby's didn't even have an edge!! They didn't need one cause they were made to JAB IN!! Ask ole' pigsticker, he know's!!

I don't find them too often anymore and when I do they are usually drastically over-priced and/or in poor shape.I have a few in there that need to be worked on and maybe when I retire(again)I'll get around to fixing them.

New to this chat room. Have 3 Rizzuto Estileto Milano switchblades. Trying to learn more about them. Have been in the family a long time and have lost all of the generation that knew about them. One is almost 11" open, almost 9" open and a little over 7" open. Looking forward to learning more about them. Have enjoyed the research so far.

Please post some pictures of your knives

Am anxious to learn more about the three Rizzuto Estileto Milano switchblades that have been in the family for a long time. The generations that knew detail about them are gone. Three different sizes. The research so far has been so interesting, but feel that this forum will yield a great amount of information.

Will try to get a decent photo of the three.

Trying to post photos. Thanks for your patience. I will get better with practice!

Thought I'd post some newer pictures here.I don't know if they will all go through as my computer is still screwing up.Probably have to make two posts.Some aren't autos but lookalikes.

Well that worked;let's see if I can download a few more.

These photos may be a little bit better. I need to read the "How to take photos" post!

Nice collection.

The large white handle one is the most valuable of the bunch. The knives are very poorly constructed, don`t squeeze down on the handles because they crack really easily, I have several like that. Another problem I have had with these is the blade will not stay shut, if yours are in perfect working order you are lucky

Thank you so much for your help! Is the shape of the swing guard an attribute that increases the value?

The knives seem to be in good shape. They opened easily and we have left them open for storage based upon posts that we have read.

My one and only fav

The guard on the larger white handle knife is more unusual, however I do not know how much that would impact the price of the knife.

Here's a sample of my push buttons...

here`s a fairly difficult one to find ....

Looks like a nice knife

Real pretty wiseguy!! You gotta' love that Buffalo Horn..the colors are splendid!

Anyone know about WANDY autos? made in the 50s and 60s in italy.. ive got one and trying to price it out.

A new one and not to bad of knife at all.

Real nice Knifetime! I have two very similar baby's myself! German made, if I'm not mistaken
and I really don't remember where I got them. Even with immitation stag plastic handles,
and that quick flick push-button that snaps back closed when you slide your finger off when opening is neat! They are built well and possible Italian made. Let's see if I can bring up a photo of mine....

OK, found them....in the photo they are the two on the right, running perpendicular to the others...
Sorry for the poor photo.....

Hello Bob ,very nice bunch. That one I posted is a German design leverlock designed by "Bill Deshivs" made by AKC in Italy. It is there"Leverleto" and is a great bang for the buck. It has 440c . This model is the silver bayou,real stag and well built. As with most Italy's knives the fit and finish could be better but it is a great knife. The stag on this one is thick and really nice.
