Hey now....
I recently find myself getting more and more back to my original passion for fine Italian hand made stiletto's and was lucky enough to be able to add these fine pieces to my collection, and I wanted to share a few pictures with the membership.... These knives are the Cat's Meow (Check out the snazzy Tang Stamp on these knives) when it comes to the Flat Guard Picklock style stiletto knives.. Mr. Walt Halucha recently made available to the collecting community a brand new, very limited in quanity 2007 run of these beautiful knives. Tank done the final tweaking on them....and they are sweet...... I chose the Brazilian Presentation grade Dark Horn, in both the Bayonet and Dagger grind, and also the French Point Tip Horn, with the same two blade configurations...... Each one is damned near perfect, and believe me when I tell you that is quite rare now adays..... I have been checking each and everyone of them out, and doin' a heck of a bunch of flickin' and a clickin'...all of them are straight, factory honed with a nice edge on them..... and feature full brass ears on the liners, no liner gap what so ever on the spine of the knife, and they all fire like cannon's and lock up tighter than Ft. Knox.. These knives are of the same top quality and attention to fine detail by the craftman of the 1950's who used to put out some mos' beautimus cutlery...... Also included was a really nice display case for each knife, a T-Shirt and Ball Cap with the *Cat & Italy Logo*. Some of the nicest Picklock stiletto's I have ever had the oppertunity to handle.....they are the bomb!
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I am the knives.....
