Coricama INOXID Switchblade
Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2017 4:23 pm
Hello All
Im enjoying finding these rare items and learning more. Today this came through my shop, its marked CORICAMA with INOXID below on the tang stamp. Its obviously a switchblade auto but seems to have a spring issue as it will not function. I can get it to close manually and the safety works perfectly just will not open when the button is pressed. It has the brass liners not steel and what appears to be authentic stag handles that show no chips or cracks. This appears to be maybe 1940's but Im not sure and needs to be worked on and cleaned. Would appreciate some help with identification, model and year made if anyone has any thoughts. Also this knife will be for sale so I would like to hear some estimates on value or offers. Thanks Jon
