This is an 8 inch guard less variation with no rizzuto stamp. It has a square sear, semi-smooth bale and bakelite scales. Taken together, this is one of the earliest rizzuto knives and could possibly pre-date the variation deemed pre-rizzuto. These are very hard to come by. This particular one was robbed of its bolsters. Of course on the hunt for replacements. If you have a guardless rizzuto, we’d love to see it.
