Where to find Italian Style Switchblade around Chatt?

[Guest Messer]

Since it is now legal to carry these in TN I would like to find a couple so I can check them out for fit and function before I buy! I know these in general are only for very light duty use but buying them online is a Big Gamble since many are cheaply made.

 

Used to see the Italian style at shows a lot except in the last few yrs all I see is either High end ones or cheaply made Chinese OTF types.

 

I wonder if anybody knows of a place or shop where this type is available?

 

Have wondered about the East  Ridge Flea Market?

 

Thank's

Thank's I did order 3 so far and 2 had to go back due to not firing proper and having cracks in scales where they were pinned or screwed in which corners broke off after using a few days playing!
2 of these were by Frank B I did keep the last one but can tell sclea have minute cracks where attached to body and on the 1 Frank B which I kept the cracks keep getting bigger just by playing with it!

So I want to check out the knife in person for cracks in scales etc.

I did find 1 about 10 yrs. ago which is great at a show but had to check 15 or so till I found 1 with crack free scales!

I still cant believe as to how THIN and hollow the scales on the Frank B ones are, especially the ones which screw in!

Thank You!

Who was the last one that ended everything with ! ?

I don't even remember what we booted the last guy for, but looking at this guy from an admin perspective, he was a multi-faceted, multi-gendered individual who I'm guessing had nothing in mind but stirring stuff up.

At least he was probably truthful this time about living in grandma's basement

Every time I get to talking to a new guy, he gets killed.  I'm not talking to them any more.
