Love them both something I’ve always wanted

A bit slow opening out of the box but after it warmed up all is well.

First, it's important to note that this "Italian Switchblade" is made in CHINA, not Italy. This is the second time this has happened to me with purchases from Blade City. The listing clearly says "Italian", not "Italian Style".
Big difference.
For any that have experience with genuine ITALIAN switchblades the difference could not be more clear. This is a large, slow, clunky knife. It's operation is awkward, at best.
Terribly disappointing.
Again, this is not an Italian switchblade, even though one of the photos on the listing clearly shows the blade being marked as "Made in Italy".
Caveat emptor. Now I'm trying to get my money back.
Chase G.
Good quality but when opened there was some rust or dirt on the blade, cleaned it off with a terp wipe
Dave H.
Looks good and feels good in my hand. It’s a beast.

this review is for blade city overall. ive bought several things over the past couple of years. there are some good products here. but, like in any business sometimes things go wrong. ive had quite a few knives that ended up with some kind of deal breaking malfunction.i dunno if i ever got a name but it sounded like the same guy at each encounter. every time he would say sorry (which is all he can really do) and try to make it right. like i said, i probably had a higher than usual rate of failure. but BC is a good company. and though im sure they would if they could, they cant be quality control for the supplier. every time they made it right without hesitation and also comped me for my trouble. things are going to go sideways sometimes in business. its how they handle the problems that tells me they are reasonably trustworthy :)

I ordered the wrong color by mistake but they sent me the right one quickly and didn’t give me a hassle, the knife is well made for the price
ben s.
love it, but not sharp
Jake S.
Good construction, knife is sharp and feels good when opening

Nicely made and Quality 13" Stiletto under $100.
Brings back memories of movies like The Blackboard Jungle, Rebel Without a Cause and other juvenile delinquents of the 1950's when I was growing up.

This knife needs breaking in before it works easier. I worked the knife about 30 times a day for a week before I could operate it with the tip of my thumb.
Willie T.
I'm very pleased with my 13" Big Boy
Gregg S.
Great experience nice item, will definitely order again.
William B.
Great knife! Blade City rules!
Mark H.
It's a fun knife well made
Randall P.
Very pleased with my Big Boy Italian Stiletto. Good value!
Dan P.
It was interesting doing business with your company. The only issue was the time it took to get my purchase in spite of the fact that I paid for priority shipping.
Erich P.
Two if the three I ordered and received function properly, one does not. I've already removed the word CHINA from the blade because--well, because I wanted to--I'm guessing that since I did this you won't be interested in swapping me one that works for the one that doesn't, but thought you'd like to know that you're "two outta three."
John D.
Folks, this is a Man Size Italian Push Button Switch Blade! Functions as it should with a Surprisingly Quick Blade Release especially for the length of the Blade! I measured 6' Inches from the Tip to the Butt End. I've really found Blade City the best to work with to acquire any kind of Blade! Moreover, I find Blade City to be quite accommodating where it Counts!
This makes only my 4th Blade Purchase and I have many more to go! Thanks so much for the Fine Sales & Service Blade City!

A large, well made, and beautiful stiletto at a great price. The function is fast and flawless. It's a great addition to my collection. I'm very pleased with this knife and Blade City.

Whenever I'm looking for a specific type of knife the first place that I look is Blade City . Only because Blade City carries quality and durable knives and I know if that I will be getting a first class knife that I will be proud To own . Just like my last purchase that I ordered . I am totally happy with it and proud To own . And as far as Blade City is concerned I highly recommend them . I know you will feel the same way I do about them , extremely satisfied after you receive your first order .
Mark C.
Great company to do business with. Love the product. Will purchase again soon.
Theodore G.
not good at phone photos and videos. Great action and appearance. Did not give my brother-in-law his give yet. I can't wait to see his reaction since he is a knife collector.

I like all the knives I bought.
John B.
Awesome knife! It’s a great size, it’s not to gimmicky like a novelty desk item, it actually feels it could be carried in a pouch or on a carrier,
Very satisfying to open.
John K.
Great price at Blade City.
Ordering was a snap. My 13" big boy stilleto was shipped right away.
It was everything I expected it to be, and then some.
Absolutely excited with my 13" switchblade big boy from Blade City.
Michael K.
The people at " Blade City " are top shelf , first class individuals . I had a problem with one of my orders and sent Blade City an Email and once I went through the proper procedure it was instantly rectified . It shown me these people are of great quality and character . And while I was waiting for the correction to go through , I purchased another knife . And my 2 knives came in about a week apart . A real class operation at " Blade City " . Believe me when I'm ready to purchase another knife , " Blade City " will be the first place that I will search there catalog first . Always stay with a winner , such as " Blade City " . You will never go wrong or be sorry . Talk about being satisfied , here I am just ask me . You will get a yes answer every time .
William W.
You said Italian switchblade but it's made in China
Mark B.
I've been wanting one of these for a while and I love it. This was definitely a great purchase!
Tony P.
Very nice knife. Huge ! Very intimidating to those on the opposite side of the blade
paul m.
Was very surprised at the quality of this big switchblade..well worth the $$. Would love a 9 inch model of the same quality
Ronald S.
BC is a wonderful experience. No High pressure salesman. It's awesome
Glenn G.
I have to say I was very surprised. It came shaving sharp out of the box. The way it operates and flies out when you press the button is equal to my high dollar Italian. And the blade steel is good..,. Incredible knife for the money!
Michael H.
I am well please with my purchase, the color is beautiful and the blade length is satisfactory
vincent B.
Pleasantly surprised upon receipt. Item was just as described. blade is sharp and it is the same quality as the knife made in the 1960 s'. Will buy more from this seller.
James C.
Great knife wish they had otf 13” or bigger
Jeff B.
Works great HUGE very intimidating
Orlando R.
Good purchase. Ran into a misunderstanding but was quickly made right by customer service...
Clinton W.
the knife was nice enough, however the blade was dull and there wasn't enough tension in the spring to make it open all the way... i was quite disappointed
James L.
Got mine in today nice big knife little slower than thought but than again it is a big old knife.
steve s.
Great size well built knife. Opens and locks up solid. Does not open real fast because of it's size. I would buy another one.
terry s.
Very nice knife for the price!
Michael K.
I totally enjoy doing business with you guys . Everything that I have ordered from you is first class top quality merchandise . I will not hesitate to purchase items from you at all . Thank you.
Erich P.
ALMOST the same as the no-shit, Italian-made stiletto switchblade I had in high school. Pretty solid construction, but spring-action could be a little tighter/forceful than what it is. HATE the fact that the blade has "CHINA" etched into it. Overall, not a bad pig-sticker for the price!
Joe K.
Awesome love it was exactly what I wanted.
Brian S.
Very nice. This 13" knife fits my hands like a glove. I'm a big guy, with big hands and it's not easy finding a pocket knife that feels good to hold.
Ronald S.
For being from China they are a solid knife and the 2 I received did shave my arm out of the box . The rivet that holds the spring in place is not mushroomed on both but that might be a good thing being if anything brakes it will be the spring . To bad you can't order a replacement , mabe thay should look into that , I know that I would get a couple just incase . All in all not a bad knife for the price .
LEWIS R.
I am very impressed with the two 13" stiletto knives I purchased. (One for me and one for my nephew). I am also impressed with the level of customer service that I received. I placed my order and received an immediate confirmation via e-mail. I received additional emails regarding the status of my order over the following days and my order arrived on time. I was so impressed with the quality of the knives and the customer service that I ordered a black 13" stiletto for my brother.
Michael G.
Great quality great price prompt service...will be buying more!!
James B.
Just be really careful, blades are uber sharp!! I really like the quality, thanks BladeCity
Tim S.
Pretty nice Italian style stiletto. The blade is a dagger style although the description says bayonet so it looks the one in the video. Build quality is okay but I had to smooth out one of the jagged rivets holding the scale. I wish it didn't have the word CHINA printed on the blade. The big long blade swoops out like the wing of a heron but it locks up tightly. Overall pretty good value.
terry s.
Happy with knife very nice.
Theodore G.
Nice weight, at first I could Not close it but my wife went on google and found the video on how to close it. It is tuff to close but I feel it would ease up after usage. Solid and firm. Great styling looks cool.
John V.
It's big, feels good in hand. But made in China will see if it stands up with time
Lenny R.
Well made, spring action is fast and accurate. Highly recommend
Paul F.
Blade-City was a pleasure to purchase from. The big boy stilletto was just what I was looking for. Been wanting a switchblade for my knife collection for a reasonable price. This knife if very nice quality for the price and I'm very satisfied with it. Looking forward to buying more from them.
ALAN B.
A great auto knife for the price. I'm thinking of getting 4 more to have a set of 6 to use as steak-knives when I have guests over for dinner. That should put a knot in their shorts, ya think?!
Nil M.
I bought the first one (in black) a few months ago. And I loved it so much, I decided that I needed to make it a pair. Now that I'm seeing them both side-by-side, I've got to say that I prefer the cherrywood design. But if you're a collector, and you've got the cash, you should definitely buy them both ^^
Steven H.
Best letter opener ever made. Grandma would love this letter opener. Very Good Quality !
Evan G.
Super cool knife definitely worth the wait its massive compared to my 9" Stiletto I got earlier this year from Blade City. Awesome knife I suggest you buy it
ANDREW M.
This knife costs double what Blade City charges. Excellent blade. The action is solid. I'm only buying from Blade City from now on.
Richard B.
A very quick delivery; the package was intact and delivered with no damage to the knife. With an over all length of 13 inches the knife is impractical for anything other than as an addition to a collection for display.
While this stiletto is no Frank Beltrame or AGA Campolin its quality has definitely improved greatly for a ' Made in China knock off. Overall workmanship, fit and finish are excellent and the price is very reasonable.
The blade is well centered when folded and fires with authority when the button is pushed, the blade even came sharpened which was a surprise.
I touched up the blade a bit and added some quality oil and have yet to have any trouble. If you are looking for first class service and excellent quality knives, you can't go wrong at blade city. I will not hesitate to order from them again and recommend blade city to my friends and associates.
David C.
Great knife. So great, I fully intend to buy another hehe
Michael V.
Overall, it's a pretty good value. Quality is acceptable, price very reasonable. I was hoping the action would be snappier, crisper. But I'm not disappointed overall.
Nil M.
I decided to keep it for myself hehe
I actually bought this for my brother-in-law -.- But I liked it so much, I just had to keep it for myself lol What's more, due to its sheer beauty and fantastic construction, I plan to buy another one for myself -- the cherrywood handle this time. Seriously, this is the coolest knife over ever seen, IMO.
Nil M.
My second purchase from Blade City, and it definitely won't be my last. They were out of the cherrywood finish, so I opted for black. I was not -at all- disappointed. And I fully intend to buy another one for myself -- cherrywood, this time hehe ^^
John J.
Pricing is good and deliverys were great. I look forward in doing more business with your company. I'm glad that I found you guys.

"Dirty Harry" Stiletto
Just an excellent BIG switchblade. Everytime I play with it I thing about the scene in the movie "Dirty Harry" when Clint Eastwood has a huge switchblade taped to his leg for a backup. An excellent addition to my collection!
William R.
Big knife very cool
James F.
Fine beautiful an razor sharp blade
Daniel W.
13" Big Boy Auto Italian Stiletto
Love the knife, nice big blade and fast action!!
Benjamin D.
Nice knifes at a nice price!!!
Jason W.
This is a BIG knife! I accidentally bought the Big Boy manual knife, both are nice, it’s amazing that the spring can actually pop the blade open but it does.
