Help Identifying Italian Switch Blade / Auto

Looking to identify.


Marking on tang is a spade and says Italy. This mark has a diamond shape around it and says super extra.

Hey Ron! I'm a big auto fan myself but the stamp on your knife I have never seen before. I know some tang stamps are diamond shaped and say "INOX" inside, but I've never seen the spade stamp. Bill De Shivs a custom knifemaker and repair person is a member on this forum, and he will see your post eventually and may be able to provide an answer for you, and, there are many other members who are experts when it comes to stamps and markings in general, so they may see your post as well. BTW, nice knife! It's good to see you posting, and to AAPK! Mark!

This is my first one.... Stumbled on a collection and this one jumped out at me. I'm curious to find out as I've searched high and low trying to find information on it.

Thanks for responding

Ron

That's a known tang stamp but a pretty rare one, only seen a few pics online with that stamp.
