My 11" Omega Import Picklock
Was happy as a clam at high tide to add this example of a fairly rare stamp to my collection. I believe this may be my first post in this space on the forum. Although I may have posted about a small Rosco a few years back.

Very nice, PD. Sweet horn, how old do you think it is?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I believe its a NYC based importer so I'd imagine around 1954 or so? They changed to this stamp in 1950 so a 4 year window

Not hard to see why you'd be happy finding that one!

I'd be pretty happy with that knife too! That horn looks to be in very good shape with none of the usual insect damage. Congrats!

wow very nice knife , have you seen the other longer stamp ( Omega Leather&Jewelry import co. made in italy) ?
i seen one years ago i think it may have been a 13" it was on Jerry Skeltons list many years ago man i wanted it sooo bad because it was a off kinda rare stamp and the longest stamp i had seen.

Such a cool name for a switchblade. The Omega, where all things end!
I wonder if there was ever an “Alpha?”
