STAINLESS 23cm Italian Bolster Release Brass Rams horn automatic knife

Vintage STAINLESS 23cm Italian Bolster Release Brass Rams horn automatic knife. Instead of a button to open the knife, the blade is released to both open and close by swiveling the top front bolster. Unusual design from the 1980s or 90s. The knife measures 22.4cm (8 3/4 inches) open with brass liners & bolsters. The flat grind blade is full with all of the factory finish intact and the ricasso is marked STAINLESS diagonally on the front and the back is marked UD96A000103 PATENT, also diagonally. The Rams horn scales are in great condition and have a TON of character! The knife works great with blade tip deep in the well closed, strong snap and goog lockup with just a bit of movement both ways at the tip. No rattle if shaken with blade open. EX+ condition.
