Automatic Stiletto Folding Knife with Blue Swirl Handle

This is an automatic folding knife, commonly known as a stiletto or switchblade, featuring a pointed, slender blade and a release mechanism on the handle. The blade appears to be made of polished stainless steel, exhibiting a satin finish on its primary surfaces, with some minor scratches or wear marks visible consistent with regular use or handling. The handle scales are a prominent feature, crafted from a material that mimics a blue pearlescent or marbled effect, possibly an acrylic or celluloid, showing swirling patterns of lighter and darker blue tones. Several brass-colored pins are visible on the handle, securing the scales to the knife's liners. A distinctive silver-toned bolster is present at the front of the handle, near the pivot point where the blade folds, and a matching pommel or butt cap is at the rear, both showing a slightly dulled, possibly satin or brushed, metallic finish, consistent with a cast or machined inexpensive alloy. The release button for the automatic mechanism is a circular, silver-toned button centrally located on the handle, and the safety switch is a smaller, elongated lever positioned above it, both indicating a functional automatic knife. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible in the image. The overall construction suggests a mass-produced item from the late 20th or early 21st century, designed to emulate classic Italian stiletto designs. The condition appears to be moderately used, with some surface wear on both the blade and handle components, but no significant damage like cracks or deep gouges are readily apparent from the provided image. The knife exemplifies a common style of automatic knife, often sought after for collecting or utility.
