This is a vintage late 1950s or 1960s picklock switchblade made in Japan. These knives were inspired by Italian switchblades of the period and are good quality, though not the same level as the 1950s Italian knives. It measures 18cm (7 1/8 inches) open with brass liners. The blade is stamped MICOR STAINLESS STEEL and is nearly full with most of the original factory finish intact. Light scratches on the front and deeper ones on the back from sharpening. The white plastic scales are in fair condition with a hairline across the button and a piece missing by the button. The bolsters and lanyard ring are nickel silver and the button and safety cap are brass. The knife works great with blade tip seating deep, good snap and fair lockup with some movement each way. Does rattle if shaken when open as many of these do with use. Nice old Japanese picklock!
