Looking for info on traditional looking switchblades

Hi,
I have a couple of questions, which are obviously for a friend as switchblades are illegal where I'm from.

My friend, who's obviously from a country where switchblades are legal, is a collector and is looking for one OTF and one side opening knife for his collection. They should be quality blades in a traditional look and the limit for each one is ?100. The purpose is just for display and preservation.

Does anyone have any good ideas about which manufacturers are good? It's imperative that they will be sent from within EU so links to European dealers would also be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

In Italy, switchblades are a "cottage industry". Two of my favorites are:

(#1) Francesco Beltrame (Frank Beltrame)

(#2) Renzo Beltrame

(#3) Armando Beltrame

The last names of these manufacturers are pronounced bell-tram-may. I placed these makes in order of my preference. They are all made by hand and are subject to variations according to the way the individual happens to be feeling that particular day.

Look up Frank Beltrame and see what he has to offer.

Good luck.
