Gorgeous horn handled switchblade. I just love the green and blonde horn on this one. The model is called a "Catalana". The ring is pulled to release the blade for closing the blade. It was made a few years ago by A.G.A. Campolin in Maniago, Italy. These were made by the hands of age old craftsman. The overall length is about 10 1/2". The liners on this are Stainless Steel. The knife is as nice as they come. $220 shipped to your conus door.20210817_214153.jpg20210817_213825.jpg20210817_213928.jpg20210817_213746.jpg
 
Still available? If so, I have a couple more questions if I may. Are you the original owner and from where did you acquire it? I notice what appears as some light scratches on the bolsters, is that the case or is that just some oil smudging? Also appears the same at the tang's swivel point, scratching or oil there? How well does the blade sit and center? And lastly, are you confident it's not a conversion to ring-pull from a "Zipper style" release?

My apologies, I know I'm bit of a bi*ch with details and questions. I'm just a picky sob. Haha. Take care.
 
I am sorry for taking so long to get back. I just saw the message.

I am the second owner. I purchased it from a friend and fellow collector.
The scratches you see are indeed oil smudges. There are a couple minor swivel scratches at the tang. The blade sits centered. Locks up nice. Fires nice and strong. Safety works as intended. I can say with 100% certainty that the knife was made as an auto and is not a conversion.

I don't consider you a bi*ch. Any questions are welcome.
 
Respectfully, how firm is the price? I've got a Renzo Frosolone en route, and am working on locating and purchasing a Batwing, so I've got to keep close track of my budget this month. Sometimes this addiction can be stressful. ;) So with that said, if still available and I may make an offer, I'd be willing to do it for 190 even to my door in NC, preferably in a box, and can pay via PP. Sincerely, Scott.
