STAINLESS STEEL 26cm KORIZZY Korean large Rizzuto clone vintage automatic knife

STAINLESS STEEL 26cm vintage Korean Rizzuto clone automatic knife most likely made in the 1970s or 80s and fondly referred to as a Korizzy. The knife measures 26cm (10.25 inches) open and 5 3/4 inches closed with steel liners, bolsters & guards and nickel silver plated button & safety cap. The flat spear point blade is 98% full or better with original factory finish with some light scratches & sharpening marks and the ricasso is stamped STAINLESS STEEL. The textured black synthetic scales are in very good condition and held on by brass pins and the backside bolsters have some corrosion on them. The knife works well with the blade tip even with liners closed, good snap and very good lockup open with about 1/16" movement at the tip. Doesn't rattle when shaken with the blade open except for the folding guards. This larger version is much harder to find than the 9 inch version.  VG condition.
