Features a 4 3/8" Mirror Polished Bayonet Styled Blade made of 440 Stainless and honed to a fine edge. "Frosolone Pattern" Picklock Classic (Frosolone is named for the region of Italy that this pattern of switchblade was introduced, whereas the push button is located approx 3/4 of the way down on the handle rather than approx half way down as on a typical Maniago made switchblade).  Measures 9 3/4" overall open. 

 Super Heavy Duty Piece with a thick (3/16" / 4mm) inch backspring which has been Hand Engraved with a "running wheat" pattern that gives a 3-D effect when you view it. The Hand Engraving contrasts beautifully against the unique color of the ancient Mammoth Molar.  Hand File Worked Brass Liners.

These knives are handmade and assembled the old way by Renzo Pascotto for Campolin and Customized by AIK's Custom Shop. The kick spring is a "slip-in" style. Features superb switchblade action with rock solid lockup.

Blade is marked on the tang "A.G.A CAMPOLIN MANIAGO, ITALY 2018". Picklock design; means you must take your index finger and thumb and pull back where the blade locks to unlock it, (most modern classics have a swivel bolster release design). (Older Model classics from the 50's and 60's featured the Picklock design closure). This is one of the finest quality Italian Classics constructed.
