AKC Speed Hunter 18cm Italian lockback automatic knife

Vintage AKC Speed Hunter 18cm Italian lockback automatic knife measures 17.6cm ( just under 7 inches) open with steel liners, button and safety cap and nickel silver bolsters. The blade is nearly full with original finish and is etched AKC on the ricasso and etched Speed Hunter on the front face. There is one tiny nick in the cutting edge. The multi color buffalo horn scales are in excellent condition with the front scale being mostly black & white and the back scale dark brown, green & tan. The knife works well with the blade tip seating deep and centered, good snap and good lockup open. Safety works, but is loose. EX+ condition.
