Which is nicer? The elegant traditional or the beautiful landscape? Impossible to say, many thanks for showing.
 
Wow that's some beautiful country! I like the knife too!
 
A wonderful example of it's knife type, in some great locations! Looks like you had an enjoyable weekend, Alfredo!
The brief time I spent in Italy and Sicily, has left a permanent impression in my memory of beauty and history. A wonderful part of the world, I can't wait to return!
 
Hi!

Thank you for sharing this pics to us... Nice knife, I like the horn handles (which horn is it?)

Seems to be a place to spend time there, I was already a couple of times in italy, typical german tourist ;) :D
Such nice places I haven´t found yet...

Kind regards
Andi
 
Thnaks to all of you.

@Charlie (waynorth): of course you will be my guest, I hope :-)

@Humppa: the handle is one piece of cow horn, specifically the point of the cow horn. You may see at the end of the handle a small white spot

well this is the "sign" you need to look at if you want a real good handle in cow horn. See for comparison the same spot on the unworked cow horn

Thank you Alfredo!

My granny used cow horn (with removed inner parts, so to have some kind of sheath) with a clip to put the honing stones for the scythe in it. I just knew that ones, so thank you for the pic with the complete cow horn.

Kind regards
Andi
 
Wow! Love your house!:eek: :p That would definitely be a walk to remember. The mountains look breath-taking.

The knife looks good, too.;) Great blade shape.
 
the knife is quite beautiful in its simplicity with an nicely shaped blade. Does the metal piece on the spine act as a locking mechanism of just a stop. The reason I ask, is it looks to have a gap at the end on the handle, and one may be able to depress this as in a lock- back knife? Exceptional views! I could get lost for months.
 
Alfredo, Thank you for the invitation!
And for posting the pictures, that take us away from our computers and into the great outdoors!!:thumbup:;)
 
That is a very nice looking knife. The blade is a good utility shape, and the handle is high quality horn. I need to get one of those!

Hi Andi, you mean something like this, right?

Of course the same here in Italy until '60 about.

For the USA mates: the same in USA? Or what?

Hey, thanks but it's not my house! I'm not a rich man, just a normal Joe whit a normal (and beautiful) life. Mountains are really amazing here, Alps are something to see if you like nature at the top. :-)

Thanks, mate. It is a slip-joint, whit an esternal spring, but you're right, when you handle the knife, the spring act as a lock under the pressure of your hand.
 
Yes, that´s what I thought about. Something like this has been used to keep the honing stone for the skythe.

:)

Kind regards
Andi
