RENZO PASCOTTO Maniago Italy 35cm Italian Flatguard Dagger Picklock Wasp switchblade knife

RENZO PASCOTTO Maniago Italy 35cm Italian flatguard Picklock Wasp Green & White horn switchblade knife. This knife was made recently in Italy by famed cutler Renzo Pascotto who has been making switchblade knives in Italy since the 1950s. The knife measures 35cm (13.75 inches) open and 7 3/8 inches closed with brass liners & pins and Nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap. The much less common dagger grind blade is 100% full with original finish and is etched on the ricasso with Renzo Pascotto's mark over MANIAGO ITALY and the reverse is D.M. Dolphins stamp. The genuine horn scales are GORGEOUS and are mostly white on the front and mostly translucent green on the back. Knife works like new with blade tip deep and centered in the well when closed, strong snap and excellent lockup open with barely a hint of movement at the tip. Does NOT rattle if shaken with the blade open. Safety works. Nearly new condition.
