Vintage RIZZUTO ESTILETTO MILANO STAINLESS STEEL 28cm One Pin Japanese Swing Guard black switchblade made in Japan in the 1960s and has Unusual stamp. Likely late 60s or even early 70s manufacture.

The knife measures 27.6cm (10 7/8 inches) open and just under 6 inches closed with steel liners, bolsters and lanyard ring with brass button and safety cap and single brass pin on each side.

The hollow ground flat grind swedge blade is 99% full or better with original finish with a few light scratches and the tang has rare/unusual stamp that reads RIZZUTO ESTILETO MILANO STAINLESS STEEL. 

Black synthetic scales are in very nice condition with some handling marks.

Function is very good with the blade tip deep and centered closed, good snap and excellent lockup open. Safety works, but is a little loose. EX condition.
