I am in love with these classic Italion knifes but they are pretty much the same as having a handgun where I am but a flipper is fine.

One thing I did think about was converting an auto to a flipper but not sure if that's possible as the blade is not setup for it.

Has anyone found a detailed replica minus the auto part?
If so please advise.

Thanks in advance

Boker has several stiletto styled knives, both in manual and assisted opening (but not push button auto, i believe) This is i believe their least expensive.
 
I recommend the Cold Steel Ti-Lite, probably the best folder in production for what you're looking for.
 
Ti Lite isn't a flipper though. It can be done, but it isn't easy.

All you ever recommend is Cold Steel. Your a broken record. I like C.S. just fine, but there are other great knives out there. The OP wants a classic Italian stiletto. C.S. does not make one, no matter how high in esteem you hold them.
 
The TI-Lite is nice a a modern Stiletto but not the old style I am looking for.

I checked out the Boker Magnums and they appear to be of lesser quality, I think I will get one anyway as they are pretty cheap.

Looking at a european site yesterday that supplies these I sent off a note to see if they can either make me one or if they have one in the line up.
Not sure if you guys seen them but they have an 17 inch open SB!!

are you living in Canada?? if so I remember reading a post where spring assisted is not allowed in the country. I just don't want to see anyone go to jail over carrying a knife. the Boker Magnums are good quality for the money you pay for them.

Again, I recommend what I consider to be best, YMMV. I may recommend Cold Steel the most, but I have also recommended and will continue to recommend Buck, ESEE, Spyderco, and others which I have had positive experiences with.
I see a lot of people recommending Chris Reeve knives, Benchmade, and other brands that I may or may not dig on a consistent basis...there are a few people I see only seeming to recommend one brand or another. I don't give them grief for it, since everyone has their own brand preferences.

This is a lot closer to the Italian stiletto than a few other knives posted in this thread.

I like the Ti-Lites myself. They aren't flippers but they can be waved open.

None of your business what he recommends. If you don't like his, recommend your own choice.

I don't mean to push the thread off the rail but I just wanted to say that you've been misinformed. Assisted opening knives are fine in Canada. The types of knives that are prohibited are autos, gravity knives (like balisongs), push daggers, belt knives/constant companions, and knives hidden in objects (like Cold Steel Honeycomb; cane swords are fine). Rule of thumb for folders is if you can deploy it without touching the blade or a protrusion attached to the blade, then it's prohibited.

That is why I said there are other brands available. If you want something that is high quality materials, look into the HTM Mad Maxx series.

I swear that I asked one time about the Kershaw leek and they told me no it was not allowed because you could open it with one hand.
