I have not seen this style knife before. "Inox" can be French or Swiss or German.

It’s not French or Begon at all. Remember; no information is better than worthless wrong information.

It’s a Spanish made knife sold by the Gomez company in the 1960s/1970s. It’s the large sized model.

If you’re an expert on the internal workings of these knives some have the internal construction of an Italian made knife with a V-shaped spring instead of a leaf spring. I can’t remember if your bigger sizes model is made that way. But the smaller ones are.

Let me know if you’re interested in selling it.

Thanks!

Maybe so.
But, at 3" I doubt it's the large size.

The larger size posted here is not 3” it’s 5.5.” I have a picture of if inside a catalog my friend found.

Here is the smaller keychain model that uses the V shaped spring instead of a leaf spring. In fact both of these Spanish keychain sizes model I have employ that spring which was originally designed by an Italian Cutler and designer with many patents in the 1950s.

I have the patent for this 5.5” Spanish model the original poster showed us.
