Switchblade help wanted

Barone20 · Dec 29, 2018

I have what appears to be an older switchblade. I'm not much of a knife expert so I'm looking for anyone who might know a little more about it. From what I can find it's a larger swinguard style. The blade says Milano. The handle scales are missing and I'm wondering if that's something that can be replaced? Any info would be great.

I know there common place today.
But back in the 70's that would have been da bomb!

Milano, Italy I assume. Possibly a stiletto?

No problem. If you or someone you know is into building models, making scales isnt too hard. Just take your time to get the rivets out cleanly and fit the contour of the scales. I did one when I was a teenager, used rosewood and it turned out nicely.

Looks similar too a Protech Large Don.

Almost looks like a Kissing Crane, but the bolster is different! Still, a nice slick little switchblade! Keep us posted with the progress!

@Barone20 - If you're looking for someone to do the repair, you may want to look up Bill DeShivs or another gentleman who goes by "muskrat man". I don't know either but the work they post of their switchblade repairs on the various knife forums is excellent. Muskrat man is an authorized Hubertus repair rep.
