All About Pocket Knives

Hello everyone, this is' my first post and I take this opportunity to thank the directors for having begged in forum.Sono recently come into possession of a hunting knife (?) With a flip-off with puller cal cartridge cases . 0:16, handle made of buffalo horn. not 'present any brand will do on the blade handle. Someone can 'give me more information and maybe give me an estimate? Thank you

Hello , I`ll take a stab at it ..... 1960s Italian hunter , worth 100.00 t0 200.00 American depending on who wants it bad enough. Seems there have been reproductions of vintage styled Italian knives recently but yours appears to be older and in very nice condition.

Thanks, I'm definitely not an expert, but if and 'a replica and' really well done .I materials (cheeks, the brass case, finishes ..) seem to be very good. I look forward to someone to give me some other news.

pg.104 of 'Switchblades of Italy' by Zinser, Fuller, and Punchard in the Chapter titled 'Indiana Cutlery and the 1960's; there is a photo of one with a description beside it that reads " This knife has an unusual variation of the deerfoot bolster and uses a fulcrum release. It dates from the 1960's"

From it's construction, I would have ventured to say that it is Italian. I love the clip point blade. great for dressing game as well as other tasks. Great horn. Given it's condition, I'd hazard a guess that it's worth a good $150.00 - $200.00 dollars on the open market.

Good luck.

Thanks for the information
