INOX 27cm Italian Stiletto BOBC Vintage automatic knife made in Italy in 1960s or 70s. This is a less common size for the BOBC knives and they tend to be about 1cm shorter than their picklock & swivel bolster counterparts. The knife measures 26.8cm (10 9/16 inches) open and 5 15/16 inches closed with D stamped brass liners and nickel silver bolsters & button with brass safety & pins. The flat grind blade is 97% full, or better with much of the original finish with scratches and some grind marks on both sides of the spine (no idea why someone did that). The horn handles (scales) in fair condition and mostly translucent green with a bug bite repair next to the button, some internal cracking and a few minor blemishes. The knife works well with blade tip below the liners closed, opens fully, but not fast, and locks open with less than 1/16" down at the tip that springs back when you let go. No rattle if shaken with blade open. Short throw safety works. VG- condition.
