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

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 17.7cm (7 inches) open and has steel liners, bolsters, button & safety. The flat clip swedge grind blade is stamped INOX and is 100% full with the original factory finish intact. The handles are hollow steel with a Red pearl wrap and are excellent condition. The blade tip seats below liners closed, strong snap and TIGHT lockup open. Pretty little Italian tourist switchblade. Still has dab of factory grease on back of the ricasso (tang) Safety works great. Nearly new condition
