Beretta Electra - Scan, First Impression

[James Mattis]

Interesting knife.

VG10 steel, bead blasted on the flats, sating on the grinds, plenty sharp. Circuit board inlay, presumably Y2K compliant. I like the modified Wharncliffe shape.

Nice fit and finish generally - I'm guessing Moki as the manufacturer. I'm also guessing that they may sell in other markets (like Japan) under some name other than Beretta, because the Beretta etch is done quite lightly, and is almost invisible on the knife that's turned face down in the scan.

No clip, so they may be looking for a belt pouch.

Jim, any idea of a likely street price for the Electra? Does anyone have them now?
Do you have the OAL and blade length?

Around $75-$80 or so.

Really good looking knife. Too good looking.
Nice way to recycle old circuit boards.

Is that a liner lock or ??? ?

 

[James Mattis]

About 2 1/2 inches of edge, weighs in at 2 ounces. Precise little knife. Street price about $90-ish, maybe. That $75 figure is a bit on the low side. I haven't seen my invoice yet on those three I got the other day, and haven't posted them to my page yet.

We made two using circuit boards, put them on the web page Monday and they sold Tuesday morning. Seems to be popular. Course their customs, so they cost more.

I don't expect you to believe these are the first fruits from my circuit board tree I've been watering since last year.
