non switchblade "italian" style knife?

[deermaster]

i was wondering if a folder exists that has the classic look of the italian switchblades, but is not a switchblade? something other than the cold steel tilite? thanks for any info, i really like the look of this style, but want a legal EDC.

There used to be droves of them available by mail order but not as many now.

Here are a couple of places you may look. I've ordered from Bladeplay and had good service. No experience with World Knives.

I don't know if you can still get them, but Kissing Crane used to make one. I have one that is a bone handle. It looks just like an Italian switchblade, but it is a lockback.

Edit:

Here you go:

something other than the cold steel tilite?

Search E-bay under "Stiletto", Falcon, Kissing Crane, and piles of vintage models are always listed. Also try "swing guard knife", as Italian style models were also offered.

Falcon are the best out there today. Falcon makes the Kising Kranes for them:

I'm too lazy to look it up now but I thought that there was one like that in Boker's Magnum brand.

You should get this one: http://www.smkw.com/webapp/eCommerc...t=&list=20&range=1&order=Default&SKU=FA8033CT

Have you ever wanted to see a criminal piss himself? If he confronts you when you have this knife, he would.

That is unless he sees a 7" inch long stiff object printing through your pants. In that case he would probally run away screaming like a scared little girl. He would be scarred for life
(He would never again feel like a real man).

This knife could also come in handy when courting the ladys. (They would assume that you were always happy to see them.)
