Swing Guard Switchblade Buffalo Horn Stiletto Automatic Knives, rare Italian style lockback knife - 9". The push button quickly deploys a 1095/15N20 layered steel blade. Swinging the guard into place, then uses a sturdy Spine Lock to close and secure with the front mounted sliding safety. View our other versions HERE...
***REAL Buffalo Horn*** Almost solid black, with a bit of transparency for the classic silver and black look.
***REAL Damascus*** Forged from layers of 1095/15N20 with a beautiful tear-drop/raindrop pattern, each blade is unique.
Leaf-Spring opening. Some pieces are quite strong, but some may need to be held firmly to lock. A leaf-spring uses stored potential energy, like a grass-hopper. Kicking against the sturdy ground, it can jump very high.... but kicking in the air, doesn't work too well. This same concept applies... brace the bottom of the handle against your palm with a firm grip. This provides a base for the spring to kick against.
PRO TIP: Rotate your wrist to a palm-up position, and even a weaker spring will still lock when held properly.

I am hardly the type to take the time to review any product I buy online, because I buy a ton of stuff. But, this knife has not only pried a review out of me, it’s making me buy another Damascus swing guard knife, as well as another knife or two that I can carry and show off with pride as an every day carry blade.
The first set of switch blades I had bought was from another retailer. Although a bit lower in price, the OTF broke in the first few open and closed. That made me salty. I wanted a unique knife that fit my personality and style. I found this retailer, and although I was wary due to my first experience with the other retailer, I saw the swing guards were built like no other. They were constructed with old world craftsmanship you do not see today. I hope they don’t sell out before I get another one. I wish snake wood or abalone scales were available because they would be bought without a second thought now that I have one in hand. These knives are unbelievable and you will not regret the purchase!!!
I love this knife and would recommend to anyone looking for this style of knife. Well built nice knife, and the costumer service is on point! Thanks Jeff!
