INOX 18cm Italian Tourist knife Black BOBC INOX automatic knife

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 from display cards that held 4 or more knives. They were mainly aimed at the tourist market and I believe that they were made mostly in the 1960s and 70s. The knife measures 18cm open (7 inches) and has steel liners. The flat swedge grind blade is stamped INOX and is nearly full with the original factory finish intact. The handles are hollow steel with a wrap and are in good condition with some light scratches and handling marks. The knife works well with the blade tip seating deep in the blade well closed, strong snap and good lockup with a little up and down of about 3/16" at the tip. Nice little Italian tourist switchblade.
