STAINLESS STEEL 28cm Vintage Japanese White Picklock automatic knife. These knives were inspired by Italian switchblades from the 1950s and earlier. Though not quite the same quality as the Italian knives, these are very well made. The knife measure 6 inches closed and 10 7/8 inches (27.5cm) open with brass liners. These larger picklocks are less common. The blade is marked STAINLESS STEEL and is 100% full with all of the original factory finish intact with some light scratches mainly on the backside from opening/closing. Great blade! The less common white synthetic scales are in great condition with no shrinkage, cracks or chips. The knife has nickel silver bolsters, like the Italian knives, but had brass button and safety cap. Fancy scrolled nickel silver lanyard ring. The knife works like new with blade tip seating deep and centered, good snap and good lockup with just a little movement each way at the tip. Does rattle if shaken with the blade open as many of these do. Safety works. These knives have a unique "thwak" sound when the open, different than most other switchblades. These are really cool knives.
