Vintage Rizzuto Estileto Milano 16cm vintage Japanese swing guard automatic knife made 1960s or 70s. The knife measures 15.4cm (6 1/16 inches) open and 3.5 inches closed with steel liners, bolsters and mustache shaped guards with brass button and safety cap. the bayonet style blade is 96% full, or better with most of the original factory finish intact and the ricasso is stamped STAINLESS STEEL.

The knife works great with blade tip below liners closed, good snap and good lockup open with about 1/8 inch up and down at the tip. Does not rattle if shaken with blade open except the guards a bit. Safety works. EX- condition.
