This is an authentic original Lepre Maniago, Italy swinguard switchblade automatic knife with premium stag horn grips. The Lepre Maniago 10” Swinguard is incredibly rare and very seldom made with none being currently available. Lepre Maniago is a three-generation handmade knife company that is considered by many to be one of the finest blade makers of Italy. The knife was completely handmade forged by the Lepre family using 440A stainless high carbon steel and finished with nickel silver faceted bolsters, pins, and a very unique swinguard. The knife was then paired with a premium set of genuine European stag horn antler grips having a rich coloring and large size, premium stag such as this is very scarce. The beautiful high polish knife blade is marked with the LEPRE MANIAGO hallmark. The piece is in brand new condition and the auto-matic knife function, which works by pushing the nickel silver button, works excellently without flaw. The knife measures overall when open 10 inches in length with a 4.4 inch blade length. When closed the knife measures 5.75 inches in length. The knife comes in a A.G.A. Campolin made in Italy black leather sheath. Guaranteed to be an original Lepre Knife.
