Liam Clark Early 11 inch Italian Picklock Conversion automatic knife

Liam Clark Early 11 inch Italian Picklock Conversion automatic knife done by up and coming knife maker Liam Clark. This is a 1960s 11 inch Italian manual stiletto that he converted into an automatic picklock with an unusual rectangular horn release button. The knife measures 27.5cm (10 13/16 inches) open and just under 6 inches closed with brass liners and nickel silver bolsters. The bayonet blade is 100% full with most of the original finish intact with no markings (sterile). The genuine horn scales (handles) are mostly green and black and in good condition with one long hairline crack on the back scale and some drying. It has a very unusual hand made rectangular button made from horn. The knife works great with blade tip centered and below the liners closed, strong snap and excellent lockup open. No safety. Here's your chance to own a piece of switchblade history from a very talented maker that is sure to increase in value right along with Liam's fame. ;^)
