Q.J.D. INOX 18cm Italian Transitional Automatic knife

This is a nice old Italian swivel bolster transitional stiletto from the 1970s, or earlier. The blade is marked INOX in a circle and looks like Q.J.D in another circle above that which is the mark of a French importer. This knife has the look and feel of a 50s vintage picklock with nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap. The flat grind blade is full with original factory finish and some very light scratches on the front. The horn scales are basically black with a couple of hints of streaking and in very nice condition. One little scuffed area along the safety slot. The knife works great with blade tip seating deep, strong snap and nice lockup. Very nice little vintage Italian stiletto switchblade. Safety works. EX+ condition.
