11" Italian Switchblade Shark by Dolphins – Spalted Beech Wood Handle | Rear Pump Lockback Auto Knife

Dive into artisan excellence with the 11" Italian Switchblade Shark by Dolphins Maniago—a striking blend of elegance and mechanical precision. Handmade in Maniago, Italy by a coalition of legendary makers including Frank Beltrame, Giovanni Beltrame, and Massaro, this knife is part of the elite Dolphins line, created through the vision of Lucio Di Bon and Francesco Mariani.

The "Shark" gets its name from its aggressive blade profile and signature rear pump lockback (Humpback-style) release. The 420 stainless steel blade boasts a half-grind edge for sleek slicing and durability, paired beautifully with a stabilized Spalted Beech wood handle—each one featuring unique grain character and natural tone variation.

A stainless steel actuator fires the blade open automatically with authority, while a sliding lock mechanism located just below the button ensures safe carry and secure storage. This is traditional Italian automatic design reimagined with next-level materials and elite craftsmanship.
