My Pandemic Pair again today.

What is that bottom knife?? I love it!

What is that bottom knife?? I love it!

It's a Scarperia Zuava. I picked it up in Florence, Italy a few weeks ago. Zuava is a French pattern, from around the time of Napolean, if I recall correctly. The Italian cutlers made one also. This one was made in Scarperia, Italy, near Florence, by I COLTELLI DELL'ARTIGIANO SNC.
Here's a pic of it opened. I really like the knife!

I have the cheap Fraraccio version, which I like quite a bit - shown here with my designated “gross stuff only” toxic-green Ka-Bar Dozier, one of just 3 modern knives I own:

Cool! I wish mine had a nail nick. I can pinch it open, but a nick would make it easier in some situations.

That's a pretty bold statement... I'll take that dare... Lest ye forget that Case makes some of the absolute best production folders on the market.

Meant to say what is the date on my imperial but I know good Case knives exist! I just need one I want to go to a knife store and handle a few because their handle material is truly beautiful most times and a good sturdy CV blade on one of the many killer designs/scales would be excellent.

Sweet pair ! Almost like they were made to be carried together.

I had to go with a blue Buck and a blue Case the day before game day. (GO BLUE!)
