10 3/8" Tijuana Tourist Stiletto, plastic ivory, NOS vintage collector knife, c.1978

46+ years old, from antique knife collection being liquidated by estate sale.  Swing guard, plastic ivory scales.  10 3/8" opened, 5 3/4" closed, 4 1/2" bayonet blade.

Stored open in paper wrapper since new purchase; never sharpened, used or carried.  Works as new, with no peek, but with typical play in lockup. New old stock vintage condition shows ageing & scuff marks from manufacturing, storage and handling.  As shown, the ends of the plastic scales are slightly bowed away from the liners.  Blade has not yet been buffed to remove scratches.

Firing button both opens blade automatically, and unlocks blade for manual closing.  Swing guard operates loosely, as is typical on this type of knife.

Stiletto collectors... this is a classic "Tijuana Tourist" souvenir knife from the 1970's.  Larger than the more-common 8 3/4" models, these inexpensive swing-guard auto knives have been featured for decades in movies and TV shows, simply because they were readily-available to Hollywood producers and prop men.

No knife collection is complete without one!
