Rizzuto Estileto Milano 28cm Japanese Swing guard Black vintage automatic knife

Vintage Rizzuto Estileto Milano 27cm Japanese Swing guard regular bolster Black vintage automatic knife with regular guards. It measures 27.7cm (10 7/8 inches) open with steel liners, bolsters & guards, steel button and brass safety cap. This knife was made in Japan in the 1960s and has standard shape guards. The bayonet style blade is 100% full with original factory finish and the ricasso is not marked, but the face of the blade below the spine is stamped RIZZUTO ESTILETO MILANO. The black synthetic scales are in excellent condition with light handling marks and are held on with brass pins. The knife works well with blade tip deep in the well, strong snap and very typical lockup with just movement down, about 1/2 inch, but springs back when you let go and stays open nicely. Safety works. EX+ condition.
