Vintage Gustav Branner Rostfrei 21cm Italian Swivel bolster Red Pearlex acrylic automatic knife made in Italy most likely in the 1980s. The knife measures 21.2cm (8 3/8 inches) open and 4 7/8 inches closed with brass liners & pins and steel bolsters, button & safety. The flat grind blade is 100% full with original finish and the ricasso is stamped with a spikey round head that has G & B shaped ears with a knife in his mouth (Gustav Branner mark) over ROSTFREI.
