WALT’S LATAMA ITALIAN STILLETOS

If you have known switchblades for a while, chances are you have come across the name “Latama.” Argued to extend as far back as before WW-II, the artisanal finish and finish of the Latama was superior to its era, whose prowess has crossed generations. Another unique characteristic of this Italian artisanal make is the impressive square button launched in limited models. Although the feature didn’t appeal much to the retailers, the precision of the make and the impeccable craftsmanship overpowered this shortcoming.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

  • Custom-built
  • Handcrafted
  • Modernized automatics
  • Made in Italy

PIRANHA OTF Out the Front Switchblades

The brand, Piranha is known for its high-tech front automatic knives. The Excalibur by Piranha is the most popular OTF series from the brand. Flaunting an outstanding quality in design and good performance, this switchblade knife offers an excellent price-to-function value and is 100 percent USA feature.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

  • Straight firing from the top of the knives
  • Comes in two basic styles- single action and double action
  • Double action operation: A single button controls the opening and closing of the knife
  • Single action operation: the button opens the knife, but the charging handle is used to close and reset the knife

BUCK CUSTOM SWITCHBLADE KNIVES

Buck is known for producing high-quality, affordable knives. Regardless of how much time has passed, a switchblade knife by Buck is made to last while looking good. You can regard them as the “most reliable knife on the Planet.” If you aren’t much into embellishments and fancy features and are looking for something simplistic, Buck will satisfy your search.

SWINGUARD SWITCHBLADE

Swinguard is yet another popular switchblade knife. It refers to a stiletto-style side opener switchblade that contains dual finger guards or floating guards. These guards are protective gear and get deployed when the switchblade is fired. They protect the fingers from sliding forward and coming in contact with the sharp blade.

Although we don’t advise it for carrying, this is it if you want to add a regal touch to your switchblade collection. Typically featuring a polished Bayonet-style stainless steel blade, a nickel silver firing button, and gorgeous nickel silver bolsters, the swinguards can be quite an investment. If your pockets don’t agree, the clones work just as well.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

  • Best of the Italian suave
  • Giant and sturdy
  • High aesthetic appeal
  • Not ideal for carrying
  • Very expensive
