Saut Ouvert INOX 24cm French Black automatic knife

Nice old French Saut Ouvert switchblade knife measures 24cm (9.45 inches) open and 5.25 inches closed with steel liners & polished aluminum button. The flat grind swedge blade is 100% full with original blade finish and has an etch on the face that's a circle of stars with letters inside that look like "cIa" and the front of the ricasso is blank, but it is stamped INOX over BTE SGDG on the rear. The black synthetic scales are in good condition with minimal shrinkage & no cracks. but they do show light scratches and scuffs from handling see extra pic. The knife works well with the blade tip deep in the well, super Strong snap and Super Tight lockup open. The sliding safety works well. Nice old French switchblade in EX+ condition.
