Just a heads up to all those who buy franl beltrame knives. I just received two from Frank: a black tactical and a stag horn damascus bayonet blade. I asked him why there were no markings on the blades like"AB ITALY". He told me that these are made in China and are being marketed as coming from Italy;people being led to think they are original Beltrames. They are not. I have Frank's e-mail if you need it. Please beware imitations. I know the site(s) he is talking about
