My ENTIRE Italian SWITCHBLADE collection - NOT IN THE BEST OF SHAPE :(

[@santosknives6278]

I don´t know man, most of these look much more capable than letter openers... great collection!

[@edged_mindset]

😁

[@undergroundexplorer8378]

You have an awesome collection! Love your old videos on these!

[@bobafeet1234]

Awesome collection! Love the Campolin horn batwing swing guard. Those can all be oiled and polished right up in an afternoon.

[@edged_mindset]

👊

[@johnbest1978]

Beautiful knives! And excellent collection! I love Rizzuto's and Rizzy clones.

[@edged_mindset]

Thank you!

[@trapperscout2046]

I remember Blade HQ selling the old Buck automatic conversions back in the early 2010s. They even had a left handed version for people like me.

[@edged_mindset]

Nice!

[@JonathanDawson-sm2yl]

So is that when they first started coming out?? I thought they only came out like well maybe 5 years ago now but still didn't no its been that long

[@JonathanDawson-sm2yl]

​@@edged_mindsetlove your autos sicker then fuck I just got a real buck 110 and a buck 110 auto clone to is nice for not being real

[@JonathanDawson-sm2yl]

Does buck 110auto count as a Italian auto?? Eather way it deserves to be in video just asking

[@christianhardwick6530]

They’ll poke an eye out

[@edged_mindset]

Oh for sure

[@Steelydan670]

You may know this but a little Flitz polish will bring nickel silver back to original shine in a couple of minutes of rubbing. No big deal. That’s why they use NS on many traditional knives. Won’t pit.

[@edged_mindset]

Good tip! I'll give it a shot

[@dorinkish9761]

Walt’s Classic from Latama is without any doubt the Cadillac of Italian stilettos. Second to none. Awesome collection brother!

[@edged_mindset]

Thank you

[@PatheticPeasant]

I'm known for using flitz thi clean my nickel silver and brass bolsters as well. After they're clean i use renaissance wax, which i highly recommend.

[@janosbajusz4680]

Keep them always open, when its not in your pocket. The spring lifetime will be longer!

[@edged_mindset]

👊

[@undergroundexplorer8378]

AB is Armando Beltrame.

[@edged_mindset]

Thanks!

[@kingstilletto]

Flitz polish is the shit too try that and when they need lube hit them with latama quick release that is the most gangster lube i ever used.

[@Dieafreak]

AB = Armando Beltrame the brother of Frank Beltrame.

[@janosbajusz4680]

Son

[@jeffaustin2259]

Simichrome metal polish by a company called Happich it’s made in Germany available on Amazon. That stuff will shine up those boosters like a charm!!! Look into that.

[@edged_mindset]

will do!

[@kingstilletto]

AB is armando beltrame step below franks but decent the fatty one isnt that a latama thats the highest end out of the bunch but aga campolins are my favorite in my collection don't have a latama yet. Good work man and you bought some nice ones!

[@little_blue_wagon]

How are the aga's ? I'm looking for my first and am used to seeing all the cheap knockoff stuff, I want something tough and quality I can carry and use regularly

[@kingstilletto]

@@little_blue_wagon i don't carry it around the agas are a quality knife but the frank beltrame hit harder. You should be able to find a dominus or Maltese around i like my diana alot too. Good luck.

[@kingstilletto]

@@little_blue_wagon if I was gonna carry something around and wanted italian style I would go with a leverlock. My frank bs I take the safety off when I get them and never touch em.

[@lonewolf597]

Maybe Flitz metal polish could help shine up your blades.

[@Dieafreak]

Inox is French for stainless steel. Not Italian language or an Italian word.

[@edged_mindset]

Good to know!

[@Everything-switchblades]

@@edged_mindset Nice also, a lot of the modern Italian stilettos have stainless steel bolsters. In the 50s and 60s they used nickel silver bolsters. I believe Latama might be the only modern Italian switchblade maker that still uses nickel silver on the bolsters to keep tradition.

[@robertspence831]

The patina looks good to me........

[@christianbenge8656]

If you are ever interested in making some room for some new ones 😆 id be very interested in acquiring a picklock or that 15" ring pull. Would definitely love to get that batwing into my collection 😭! Have been looking for one for about a year now. Recently found a beautiful oval button with the regular guard. But yes if you ever look to get rid of any. Do let me know. Maybe some trades. Beautiful collection!

[@edged_mindset]

I will keep you in mind!

[@Everything-switchblades]

Nice knives. Do you like the older Italian switchblades or are you more of a modern collector? Some people are either strictly into vintage or modern.

[@edged_mindset]

I like em all!

[@ralphdelbove4042]

nice stuff but you should leave them open so as not to wear out the springs

[@joejones9520]

it makes no difference, it's a myth that closed wears the spring out...movement thru use is what wears it out.

[@LDmagnum]

I just ordered 2 frank Bs last night, great video brotha

[@edged_mindset]

👊👊👊

[@undergroundexplorer8378]

Latama, not Latrame. ;)

[@edged_mindset]

LOL it's been a while

[@jamesluther3506]

Use some silver polish on the bolsters😊

[@mikeritter2979]

👍

[@dai5839]

AB Armando Beltame

[@edged_mindset]

Thank you!

[@davidguymon1673]

What companies make these in modern materials?

[@edged_mindset]

Burn knives

[@TM_Stone]

They'll also burn a hole in your pocket due to the money leaving it.

[@Anson120]

I recommend ren wax.

[@JACOPO.OFFICIEL]

Hi, anything for sale ???

[@dai5839]

Why the gloves may i ask

[@edged_mindset]

Sometimes life gets on top of me and I bite my fingers which people don't like to see up close.

[@TheWestboom]

Do a knife collection video? 🤙🏼

[@edged_mindset]

I totally should. Thanks for the idea!

[@TheWestboom]

@@edged_mindset yeah bro, I've been wondering what knives you have left from the XiuXiu13 days lol, if i remember the name correctly, it's been a while lol

[@edged_mindset]

@@TheWestboom Sadly I have very little. Just some nick nacks that weren't worth enough to sell

[@chiefslief1886]

​@@TheWestboom😅😅😊that's what his name was. Now I recognice his voice! Thanks! Xiuxiu13 that's quit a while back geez....😊😅👍🏻👍🏻
