Italian Stiletto Folder won’t close completely
Still new here and trying to navigate to correct forum. Just acquired a stiletto style folding knife. Marked ITALY. Blade won’t close completely. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The lockbar looks bent ? Will it open all the way ?

Often, people stuck paper, wood, etc. in the blade well to make the tip stick up-so they could catch it on their pants to open it.

I was able to bend the lockbar and now she closes completely. Paid $20. Did I pay too much?
