Saut Ouvert INOX 24cm French Black automatic knife

Nice old French Saut Ouvert switchblade knife measures 24cm open (9.5 inches) with brass liners, button and screws. The flat grind swedge blade appears to be full and shiny with original blade finish and some very light scratches from light use and is marked SAUT OUVERT along the spine and INOX over BTE SGDG on the rear tang. The black synthentic scales are in good condition with minimal shrinkage & no cracks. but they do show light scratches and scuffs from handling. The knife works well with the blade tip deep in the well, strong snap and Super Tight lockup open. The sliding safety works well. Nice old French switchblade in EX+ condition.
