Italian Switches

[The Tourist]

Can I play, too? I still have mine. BTW, that's a 15 inch lap-top...

[rwd57]

very nice all ! 2 italian switches put in benchmade to show you the size of red one. not what i would call a ECD.......

[Jacknifeben]

I don't usually buy new knives but those BOKER TOP LOCKs are great. That is why I bought 2 of them. The spring is so strong that they will fly out of your hand when you release the blade if you are not careful.

Paul, I really like that bottom knife. What brand is it??

Gino, there both AKC italy bottom called" leverletto". they have a full false edge on one side.

I just picked this one up and thought that I would post it here and see if anyone has any info on it. It is 8 1/2" overall and has no markings anywhere on the knife. The blade appears full and the action is fast and hard. It is a swivel bolstered knife but the odd thing is that to fire the knife you need to pull the front bottom bolster down to unlock the button. Handles are horn and are in nice condition. Any help on this one would be appreciated. I don't think it is Italian but then again I am not sure.

Here's a little 3 1/2 inch Switch I picked up this mornin at the Gun Show here.
Green smooth bone handles. "Speed Hunter" by AKC on the tang stamp, 2005 is etched on the blade under the speed hunter logo. This nearly jumped out of my hand after puttin a little Quick Release on it. My first Italian switchblade. Saw some more traditional ones but liked the feel of this one best in the hand. Illegal in this state,,,,,who cares!

Perry, Very Nice! I only have one old school Italian.

[singin46]

Maybe back in High School Joe. Too old now for speed anything. This will be on it's way as soon as I get tired of playin with it or cut myself, which ever comes first. OUCH!!! Oh Sh!@!@$T
Hey Mitch, that's a nice one Horn handles? Does it have the bolster release?

[Ramrod]

[MITCH RAPP]

Yes and Yes!

[singin46]

Thx Ramrod!
Wow, Mitch, that's gotta be a special knife indeed! Horn handles belong on those.

[MITCH RAPP]

Sorry Perry! I meant to say Bone.

[singin46]

Hey Just as good!

[johnnierotten]

Nice one Perry...never seen that pattern before. ......Mitch..its hard to beat those Old school ones.

[singin46]

Thanks Johnnie, thought you might dig it.

[paulsvintage]

very nice find good luck with it

AKC made these in Italy in 2005 in answer to customers wanting a more traditional looking
and pocket friendly knife to carry. They were also made in stag, horn and black bone I believe. The steel is 440C which also made me happy. About to buy another one soon, thinkin bout this one at bladeplay, here's the link. I would like to know what others think of these medium priced Italian Stillettos.
