ROSTFREI 16cm Italian stiletto Oreste Dibon vintage automatic knife. Not sure on the age, but this knife was made by a true Italian craftsman with the same quality construction as the Italian transitional knives of the 1960s. New Old Stock found with several other knives in boxes in Italy. Measures 16cm (6.25 inches) open with D Stamped brass liners and nickel silver bolsters & button and steel safety cap. The flat grind blade is 100% full with original finish intact and is stamped ROSTFREI on the ricasso (tang). The scales are mostly black with some streaks of tan and white and excellent condition. The knife works like new with the blade tip deep and centered, strong snap and tight lockup. Swivel bolster so you push down on the right front finger guard to swivel the bolster to release the blade to be closed.  Offering 4 of these and color pattern will vary slightly, but will be mostly black with streaks. Safety works. Nearly New condition.

I love it!! I've looked for years for a "stockman" or true "pocket knife" sized automatic, most Italian autos are too big to qualify as a pocket knife. This one didn't lock open every time but has already "broken in" and works beautifully now. I thought these had horn scales but this one is definitely some kind of comp or plastic, not a deal breaker for me. I love it, my problem now is which one to order next!! Another Italian or a vintage American auto? Guess we'll find out in a week when I place another order. Thankyou AVK!!
