The Colt slipjoint offers a nice Italian approach to the traditional pocket knife. Two pen blades accompany beautifully crafted brown jigged bone handles in this classic configuration. The knife is very lightweight and practically unnoticeable in the pocket, due to its compact size and incredibly low weight – less than one ounce. The jigged handle provides surprisingly good grip, even with the thin design. Although there is no half-stop, both blades beautifully snap into the open position. Closing either blade requires a decent amount of force, so neither blade should shut until you are done using the knife. Overall, the Colt is another excellent Italian knife from Maserin perfect for small/precise tasks.
