Not an auto, but it really wants to be.

Auto or not, it’s a very good looking knife.

Thanks, bought a group of 16 various Italian (mostly lockbacks) stilettos, no autos.

Really nice Schmooz! I use to enjoy those knives until I was able to get my hands on some autos, but the models I have still fit right in with all my other stiletto style knives. I love anything stiletto, manual, auto, it don't matter to me! Please post the other models you got, thx!

Will do, tomorrow.
It has a weight and feel that makes it special. You can snap it fully open after about 25%.

Ok, here you go.

I used to have them in a bedroom display case, but we went on vacation with new house sitters. Thought it wise to keep them in the safe. I installed a ring system in both my office and storeroom for extra safety.
These displays are in my office. Mostly military and theater knives.

Thanks for the pics Schmooz! That's a great group you have there! In regard to "flicking" your knife open after 25% exposure, there is a video on YouTube of a guy who can "flick" these manuals fully open from the fully closed position using the knuckle on his 3rd finger and applying inward pressure on the humpback lever while holding the body with his 1st finger and thumb, jerking downward quickly, and the blade deploys perfectly! P.S.-I really like your wood and glass displays!

Back in the 70’s when I was in the Navy, we used to loosen up our Buck 110’s to be able to open them with a wrist flick. Also carried them on commercial flights, while smoking on the plane.
Times change…

Yep, I remember those good ole' days!

It makes me sad we have digressed from common sense to paranoia. They want to raise the age of buying a firearm to 21, but the military trains 18-year olds to use them for our nations defense. And, they want to drop the voting age to 16?
The hipocracy stunning.

Ye sir, I very much agree Schmooz. It seems like almost daily we're hearing of new restrictions on this that or the next thing. Up here in Canada the latest is guns, ANY kind of guns. This happens on a regular basis every time someone is shot, they bring up gun reform again, talk about it, and do nothing. I suppose I should be grateful about this cuz it means they are chasing guns and not knives. BTW, your military display is fabulous, you have some really cool pieces in there!

We looked at both Canada and Australia when Oboma was elected. Dodged some bigs ones by staying put.
WA state has passed the BS 10-round mag law, starts 7/1/2022. So millions ( per a local article) have brought in for sale before the deadline. End result, more law-abiding citizens will become criminals for sharing or swapping mags.

Thank! I love the ingenuity of the people who crafted the theater knives.
I have zero artistic talent, so I appreciate those who do.
