Vintage 8 1/2" Overall Open Italian Rizzuto-Style Swing Guard Classic Switchblade w/ Black Composition Handles

Features a 3 5/8" Stainless Bayonet Style Blade, (3 1/8" Sharpened edge), with Black Composition Handles. Stainless Bolsters with Sliding Safety and fancy bail hook. Unique "swing guard" folds down with the blade. Measures 4 3/4" closed. 

 Push button open and close. Marked on the tang "STAINLESS STEEL".  Action is a little tired= depending on how you hold the knife makes a difference on whether it locks up or not. In other words=A nice firm grip and it will open all the way. You two finger it, and hold it like you have a limp wrist it won't always open all the way..

Regardless it's a nice addition to the collection..Bayonet Styled Blade is nice and clean and the Bayonet grind is well defined.. Blade tip seats deep in the handle. Brass push button and brass sliding safety that works. Lockup is very good. (Some slight up/down in the open position).

Although nowhere near the quality of Picklock classics, this 60's era Vintage piece is hard to find now. "Very good" condition. Some slight shrinkage on the composition handles, but a very clean piece overall. Blade is nicely centered. Includes a custom zippered pouch.
