hello everyone.
This is my first post/request-for-info so please forgive any ignorance concerning knives. I have previously read information on this site to confirm many of my military WWI and WWII military knives/bayonets. You all are very knowledgeable, no bull. Hopefully you can help me with these civilian knives.
Years ago I bought the large switchblade in photo. i paid $150 for it I am wondering if anyone can identify the manufacturer, how old is it, know its value, and wether or not it's a "keeper" or sell it? It states "ROSTFREI ITALY" on the blade. The handle is real horn.
The second knife I just bought off GB. I paid $52 for it. It states "ITALY STAINLESS" on the blade and has "mother of pearl" within the acrylic handle. Again can anyone identify the manufacturer, how old is it, know its value, and wether or not it's a "keeper"?
The action (to me) feels quite nice and smooth on both pictured knives as compared to a china made knock off I bought a couple of weeks ago. Very strong spring when opening and never fails to lock in place.
thank you to all respondes in advance.
Have a good day,
sd8
