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. They were mainly to be souvenirs for tourists 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 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 blade well closed, strong snap and tight lockup. Nice little Venice Italy tourist switchblade. Near mint condition.
