Chinese stag horn AKCs

[Mario]

These two are pretty nice for Chinese knockoffs. They got real stag horn handles. However, the 11” one has some noticeable flaws that aren’t visible on the 9”. The blade grind is off for one. Second, the bottom of the backspring sticks out slightly from the left and isn’t lined properly with the bolsters. It also doesn’t have as crisp of an opening as the 9”. However, it still looks nice for what it is. The stag horn on both is really nice. They both have squared lock tab holes as opposed to the normal round holes. If you want something that’s cheap and has the same look of a high end Italian knife, these are certainly the way to go.

If you look, you can probably find them on Wish, DHgate or Ali Express. I picked them up from a local Fleatique.

Sorry, but if you really look at them you'll see that the button holes are oversize, the safety slots are very wide, the stag is not contoured to the liners well and is ill-fitted, and much of the stag surface has been ground away. Plus, the normal Chinese misinterpretations of the stiletto design.
You can spot this stuff from 10 feet.

I don’t think any I’ve seen from Italy “these days” have a lot of time in them either though. I’d have to have one in my hand and see it operate.

Well I bought one. Not bad but great either. They gave me a scabbard with it so I COPIED IT!

Made it our of real leather though.

Is the knife in the bag a Roma swinguard, jw, like this one?
More pictures please!

Those are cool Mario.
As long as you know what they are and what they aren't ya can't go wrong for click-therapy knives.

Why yes it is! It’s Italian. Made in Italy! I ordered the solid ivory handle but of coarse they had to drop the ball somehow. Only took two weeks to deliver though. You are 200 percent right about the therapy aspect my friend.

I purposely chose the model with the black/white combination so it would match my manual model I bought sometime ago, although, the manual is 1 1/2" shorter than the auto.
I'm not so sure about their Italian origins, I got mine from DHGate.com close to a year ago, and DHG is a famous Chinese knife site that sells many clones and counterfeits. That being said, 3Knives.com the Campolin site has them listed, so I'm unsure of who actually makes them.
DHGate.com is where I learned all about click-therapy knives!

Yes, it says Italy right on the blade! The box had China writing on it. A CLUE! I think they are great! It’s sharp too! The real AKC I have is dead dull. It’s from Italy though. I got it and 5 more on Wish. Those venders on there are bait & switch artists also. You really have to keep a eye on what your REALLY buying at checkout..WISH takes PayPal dgate does not ( I guess). PayPal is great at helping you if someone tries anything funny. Tell them you are not happy with what they sent you and “ pow.” They will freeze the money.. The seller really reacts then. When and if I get the others I’ll show ya…
