Vintage Rostfrei (slant) PATENT 22cm Italian BoBc Pearlex automatic knife made in Italy in the 1960s or 70s. It measures exactly 22cm (8 5/8 inches) open with brass liners and nickel silver bolsters, button and safety cap. The flat grind swedge blade is 99% full or better with the original factory finish intact and is marked Rostfrei diagonally (slant) on the tang and PATENT on the rear with light scratches mainly on the ricasso from opening. The scales are beautiful Pearlex and are in very nice condition. This BoBc (button to open, button to close) knife works great with the blade tip sitting below the liners when closed, strong snap and excellent lockup with typical 1/8" down at the tip that springs back when you let go. Does not rattle if shaken with blade open. Short throw safety works. Very nice old Italian stiletto automatic knife from the 1960s, or 70s. EX condition
