All About Pocket Knives

Won this for $130 last night. Took my kids to see “It’s a Wonderful Life” at the old iconic theater in my city.

I checked after the movie and the auction ended well below my bid. Nice Xmas gift.

Nice color contrast on the horn.

Good eye. I agree. That’s the sole reason I bought it. Dead mint, best horn and only $138.

super nice horn
i had Renzo Beltrame make me bunch over the years with top grade Brazilian horn handles which is almost impossible to find now days just look up Brazilian cowhorn and you will not find much or anyone who sells it .

Here is the 7” bayo rotating bolster stiletto. Didn’t you do a run of these with Renzo? I have some amazing early letter and photos of Renzos early work. It will be featured in Vol 3 of my next books. All the best cutler s will get their place.

I read along time ago in South America some cows are now bred to not have horns.

The devil is in the details and the internet can lie to you sometimes if that’s all you use for research so I would double check that to be certain.

But thats wild they can breed them with no horns now.

That old 1920s/30s &1940s/50s black and white horn is unmatched. I do have about 20 pairs of Brazilian black and white horn from Lucio. It’s incredible. He hand picked the best for me with several orders. Sadly he said the buyers in China buy it all up these days.

Here are a few.

They don’t get any better from the 1970s era…I’m starting to save really nice ones from the 1970s and 1960s. The last of the original vintage stilettos. Anything pre-1975 will always be considered vintage. Anything else is modern.

Great looking horn and switches.
