    My first switchblade was something similar to these. It was a real 1950's knife that my mom bought for me for my 15th birthday. They are traditional classics. But today I trust Cold Steel Ti lites. They resemble the classics but have major technological improvements and are very usable knives. Just bought the new model with the SV35N steel blade! Razor sharp. Excellent utility and last line of self defense.

      Friendly tip: add stuff you like to your wishlist! Popular knives tend to fly off the shelves faster than we can replace them (we are a retailer, so we don't have complete control over the availability of products). At least when you add things to your wishlist and opt-in to emails, you'll be notified when your favorites return. -Holly

    Besides the picklock being the traditional switchblade, I have several from the 40's and 50's in 11 and 13 inch. The newer models like the two dark ones you have on the right, besides having the swing bolsters also have the push button moved closer to the tip of the handle. The older traditionals still have the button in the middle of the handle. And gotta love those bayonet style blades.

    In Michigan - it is legal to open carry a switchblade. It states that you should have a three-inch blade - so nine inch stiletto has the proper length. I am looking to upgrade in a nine-inch. The Chinese made ones sold in the malls seem to be cheap versions of what you sell. They just do not have the crisp snap that the Italian made automatics have.

    I bought 2 F.Beltrame 11" Horn recently and a 13" SKM Yours sales are incredible. One thing besides great looks and solid action you never mention the fact that these Italians vs Asian cheap stuff is not only is there no hole in blade but the spring and backbone are one piece. The cheap ones are 2 piece male/female and break easier. Not as smooth as The knives from Maniago Italia.

      🙋🏽‍♀️When I was 10 or 11 yrs old, I went into my mom's purse while she was sleeping and got an interesting surprise. 🧐 She had a pearl handle switchblade. 😲 I got it out and went into her closet and "inspected" that thing for probably 5 minutes, pushing the button and seeing the blade pop out over and over like in the movies.😆 Then I thought, oops I'd better put this back before she wakes up...she never knew.😄 She passed in 1967, I don't know what happened to all of her effects and that knife.😒 I bought a "spring-assisted" stiletto, recently and Am not a fan. 😣 You open the blade by pressing down on this lever with ur index finger which is tricky for me and awkward, then to retract the blade you press a small piece of metal near where the blade pops out, which is awkward also to get it to bend down to put it up.🤨 I flashback on my mom's knife and the ease with which you could deploy the blade and retract it, dang I wish I had it now.😞 Oh well, I hope I'll be able to find another one like that one. 🙂

    I would absolutely love it if you guys made a $60 left-handed stiletto. The otf Italian stiletto could be improved by making the button on the back of the bolster. This way it is closer to the original look and it would solve the lefty/righty issue. I would love to have one just like that with a 3.5'' blade and cocobolo wood handle with bronze torx or allen screws.

    When I was a kid a friend sold me a switch blade he found at his mothers boyfriends house. I paid maybe $25 for it and had it for a couple years. I would carry it around feeling like an old gangster from the 1950s.
    Anyway it was a 8 inch stiletto blade with a mother of pearl handle on it. Was as sharp as a hammer like most of my blades back then. To young and inexperienced at sharpening blades.
    Well I had to toss the blade one night after working a late shift at a dinner. The cops kept driving past me and I got nervous so I ditched the knife in some bushes. The cops stopped me and frisked shortly after. I was grateful I ditched the knife. This particular cop was very aggressive and wanted to bring me in. If I had that knife on me then I was as good as arrested.

    If I want one I'll make one. I've never been impressed with the consistency of stainless, I understand it's necessary for those who don't take care of their knives. As far as any clasp knife goes... pins break. Look cool, but a knife with a full tang isn't going to let you down.

    Italian Stilettos are my favorite-- The only reason I can think of as to why they haven't improved the quality of blade steel (which is 440A) is due to they are only good for two things-- opening mail and opening bellies. Most people nowadays just collect them for their unique appeal. Very good review - Frank's last name is pronounced "Belt- rahh- me" - like Bowie is pronounced Boo-ie.. Anyway as I said it was a great review- keep up the good work.
