INOX PATENT 20cm Italian Collini Flylock automatic knife Red button

Vintage INOX PATENT 20cm Italian Collini Flylock Red button automatic knife made in the 1970s or 80s. These are usually referred to as Collini Flylock knives, though not marked as such. The knife measures 20.2cm (7 15/16 inches) open and 4 5/16 inches closed with steel liners that are inside the wrap around black plastic handle (scales). The flat grind spear point blade is 99% full or better with all of the original factory finish with light scratches and is marked INOX PATENT. The black synthetic scales (handles) are in good condition with light scratches and scuffs from handling/use over the years. The knife works great with the blade tip seating deep and centered in the well, strong smooth snap and very good lockup with less than 1/16" movement at the tip. No rattle if shaken with blade open. The blade is thrown open by a spring loaded bar inside the blade well. Neat design and would make a good EDC (every day carry). EX- condition.
