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

RENZO PASCOTTO Maniago Italy 35cm Italian flatguard Picklock Wasp Brazilian horn switchblade knife. 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 bayonet style 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 Brazilian horn scales are GORGEOUS and are mostly black & white with a little tan, cream and hint of green. Knife works like new with blade tip deep and centered in the well when closed, strong snap and very good lockup open with about 1/16" at the tip. Does rattle a bit if shaken with the blade open. Safety works. Nearly new condition.
