I bought these three back in the 60’s when they were a dime a dozen.
The white one is a very low quality switch-blade that works O.K.
The only marking on it is “Stainless Steel” on the blade.
The black folding guard switch-blade is slightly better made, works very well, and is marked Rizzuto Estileto Milano.
The smaller black one is a top-lock of pretty good quality with real horn scales.
It is only marked “Made in Italy”.
All three are fun to look at and play with, but pretty worthless as knifes go.
I wouldn’t take one to a Hamster Fight unless that’s all I had.
But I feel pretty much the same way about all the high quality Italian Stilettos costing much more.
They are pretty useless as EDC knives, except for leaning on a lamp post with a cigarette hanging out of the corner of your mouth while cleaning your nails.
They would only be good as fencing “stickers” in a fight.
