INOX 28cm Italian Transitional Stiletto Vintage 1960s switchblade knife
Nice old Italian transitional stiletto switchblade marked INOX. The knife measures 27.7cm (10 7/8 inches) open with D stamped brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, safety cap and button. Top rear bolster is fully brass lined, but front one is not. The flat grind swedge blade is nearly full with original factory finish with light scratches and is marked INOX on the ricasso. The scales are dark buffalo horn with Tan & Cream streaks on the front and some on the back scale and are in good condition. There are a couple of bug bites by the button and a little cracking by the bottom (back) pin on the back scale. Knife works great with the blade tip even with the liners closed, good snap and good lockup with just a little movement each way at the tip. Does not rattle if shaken with blade open. Very nice old INOX transitional stiletto automatic knife from the 1960s, or 70s. Safety works. VG condition.
