I don’t know what I did to myself looking into these. The gun issue was enough for me.

I grew up in a state where these knives are illegal. After 40 years I’ve moved out and finally got one in my hands!! It’s actually the one with the brown wooden handle is the one I got from the flea market

Not just novelty. Ive had side opener stilettos and otf. They are pretty tough working and hunting with. Ive had several over the years and they lasted years. Ive had a swinguard for years and still works after years of abuse.

Italian stilettos in an otf is pretty sweet. Side openers were all stiletto collectors and carriers knew for a while. Its awesome an otf for this style of knife is on the market now.

Bought one at the mall for a good price, looked it up and found this video. I’m absolutely happy with this product and highly recommend it to anyone who collects or loves knifes!

in the 1950s there was a model called the trap door otf stiletto switchblade when the knife closes the little metal flap closes over the hole you can do a search on youtube there is a video on this old and very rare knife when they open they push through the flap and lock they stopped making the otf stelettos and only did flick versions with picklock and lever lock for a really long time i now have one of these modern ones in blue and i love it

I've got 3 Mago OTF knives, 2 11" & 1 9" & really like them. They're rugged & the action is smooth & fast. Great looking, too.

I bought this knife two months ago and so far three different screw and came loose and the knife is literally falling apart with my just opening and closing it indoors. I have used it to cut anything at all to keep the blade sharp. I picked up the 4 and a half inch blades version for $62 on some site. I would say when you get this knife it’s best to either use LockTite to keep the screws in places or just super clue them in. This knife will fall apart on you but only the clip and scales. The main structure of the knife is solid and has a powerful addictive and snapped action. This is the funnest and most addictive knife I own. It was genius for them to make an OTF stiletto, so much better and fun and addictive than the out the side (OTS) autos. For $62 I would buy this knife again if I lost this one and I would recommend it to a friend. The knife is sturdy enough to use for self defense. The blade is so narrow and so long I wouldn’t want to get stabbed by this. It would go i to someone like butter just like traditional stilettos. Over all I would like to see a high end version built for self defense with scales that have lots of traction like the Benchmade Fact. Because when you stab someones repeatedly your hand slides down the handle. This knife does have a hilt (blade guard) but it’s sharp when you hand slides down it and hit so it. It’s best to know have your hand go anywhere than to have a hilt but I like the hilt anyway because it helps it look like a traditional stiletto. Overall if you can get this knife for around $62 I’d grab it. Some sites sell it for $94 which is way too much for this.

I bought one, the action broke after around 10 uses. However, it did start working again a few minutes later. Other than that mishap, the knife is over all really cool. Edit: i think it was a safety mechanism because it happens when the blade hits something on its way out.

So, how do you like it ?

I got the 9’ Mago but it unfortunately misfires constantly. Haven’t cut anything with it yet and only fired it a dozen times before it started to come off track. I have four other knives from Grindworx that all work well. Just reached out about returning and they responded immediately. Definitely appreciate that. Will get a new one and see if maybe that one was just a dud.

I have the black one. I took it a part and sanded off the satin on the body and finished it off with 5000 grit sand paper and it looks much better… nice and smooth. The switch was TEDIOUS to sand and polish but it came out great. Nice knives

Just got mine today the 11" black marble it is a beast I've always wanted one and finally got one

Very Disappointed, mine came dull out of the box. My $12 Amazon knife is much sharper than this. Also, the blade has play and moves back and fourth. Not what I would expect from a $65 blade.

Yeah me too, you must be mixed with a name like wright. Mine is Petrone and is good to see that it's made in Italy, as apposed to most everything in that price range is made in China or Taiwan and is disposable junk. I either buy American, Italian or other European builds, but do not waste money on the junk

Dreamknife tbh

l bought the 9 inch and the 11 inch,very cool knives although the 9 inch stopped working and i had to return it.

Reading the reactions, I become sceptical. The screws and spring seem to be cheaply produced, and I would want to see a stiletto that can penetrate when held against a watermelon or steak. If they show thát on films, and make the 4 fingerstopplates massive instead of hollow (that looks really cheap) then I will buy one. I am not convinced now.

About to buy a 13” otf stiletto. Blade is 5.5” long, double action.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this video. I want to buy one of these stiletto OTFs AS WELL as a stiletto OTS once you guys get them back in stock.

I’m so getting one.

this style existed back in the late 80's and early 90's when what you now know as a standard OTF currently was just becoming popular; it just had a different handle and fittings, they took away the guards and all of the style to make them more "tactical" and streamlined. this is literally 30+ year old tech that is being rebranded as something new. but i do love the style though. however, these blades, for whatever reason, the bodies are way thicker than the originals. they had the same profile of an original italian stilleto. they were not this thick or heavy and worked the same. so why are these mago ones so big and clunky?

Just bought one from you guys, can’t wait to get it!

Now it comes in a 13” version as well.

Just purchased one. Waiting for the delivery today. SO EXCITED.

That’s the best otf knife I’ve ever seen

Ahhh I want it but I need a clip... Can't do the sheathe thing. My EDC is a lightning elite for 2 years now and I know this is gonna hurt your feelings but I'm a construction worker that does hardwood flooring and I use that knife for everything... Screw driver, pry bar, scraper, everything! I love it, can't kill it for the price.

Came in today, works great, looks great and it’s sharp 👌 thanks!

Update, the knife had a tendency to go off track, the tolerances seemed tight and i had to disassemble it to grind the lower lock release to allow more spring tension to open. I also had to sand down some pitted aluminum to allow the blade to move freely in and out. Not the greatest build quality but it’s still very cool

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought otf's were for slashing and side opening was for stabbing ? This would make this knife more or less useless because every budget otf I test in a stabbing motion against card board or a book the blade goes back in and pretty much useless in a real scenario unless the person is really scared of knives, we'll see tho, I'm still waiting for the knife to come in so I can really make my analysis.

Tell me please, how to buy it from Europe. How to ship it to Europe?

Are thes better then the Chinese made ones from blade city? If anyone here knows anyway cus the ones on blade city or like 80$ but I'm almost positive they from China also the ones that called the don something by viper tech and are thes better then the Chinese made ones from. Slash 2 gash they like 90$ but the description for them says they are the strongest out of all of the ones like them but if assume they may mean all the Chinese made Italian style otfs that look like them and thes but if thes ones are truly from Italy then I'd imagine they should be better then them let me no I'd any of you have delt with thes ones from video as well as the others I mentioned thank you
