INOX 18cm Italian Tourist knife Red pearl BoBc automatic card knife

Vintage Italian BOBC (button open, button close) knife 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 tourist souvenir knives and I believe that they were made mostly in the 1960s and 70s. The knife measures 17.9cm (7.05 inches) open and 3 15/16 inches closed with steel liners, bolsters, button & safety. The flat clip swedge grind blade is stamped INOX and is 100% full with the original factory finish intact with a few light scratches. The handles are hollow steel with a Red pearl wrap and are excellent condition. The blade tip seats well below liners closed, strong snap and Tight lockup open. Safety works great. EX+ condition
