All About Pocket Knives

Anyone have any input on Stilettos by Elio DiBin circa 1950"s. Values ect any input appreciated.

Great one! I’ve always loved Elio’s stamp
As do many people.

Here is a small write up. Tons more info exists. He was one of the greats.

I just sold an 11” fulcrum for $1200

Seems anything DiBin is scarce and desireable. I have as of yet not been successful locating one for sale or having been sold so I can form a baseline. I'd really hate to sell it for $100 when in fact it was worth $1000. Anyone seen one for sale or seen one sold?? Appreciate any input.

Just off the top of my head, and I’m super sick right now…I’d say a normal 9” Elio picklock is about $750. Great horn and great condition will make it more.

Elio made so many models, the more rare and obscure like a ring pull or fulcrum or topless bolster model, the more it could be worth.
