This is an Italian BOBC (button open, button close) knife marked INOX, commonly referred to as a "card knife" due to the fact that they were often sold to tourists off of display cards that held 4 or more knives. I believe that they were made mostly in the 1960s and 70s. The knife measures 17.5cm open (7 inches) and has steel liners. The flat grind clip swedge blade is stamped INOX and is full with the original factory finish intact. The handles are hollow steel with wraps featuring a bridge on the back side and a gondola on the front and are in very nice condition. The knife works well with the blade tip seating deep in the well closed, good snap and tight lockup. Does take a Firm press on the button to get it to open fully. Nice little Venice Italy tourist switchblade. Safety works. Near mint condition.
