Hi, I'm looking for information on this 13" sweevel bolster switchblade, short safe travel, button, lined nickel silver tang and guards, 5mm thick blade swedge. The heel is stamped with "rostfrei (?) R-V".

It's a modern 13. There is no nickel silver on it. The liners are brass and the bolsters are steel.

it was cleaned just before the photo, the magnet says it is not steel...
Re: Info for this 13" sweevel bolster
Google Austenitic Stainless Steels, this type of steel is not magnetic.

Re: Info for this 13" sweevel bolster
do you have any news about the stamp ?
Re: Info for this 13" sweevel bolster
Perhaps it may also be of interest to others: through a friend, I learned that the R-V acronym was from a French importer/distributor, but the knife was made by the Beltrame company, Italy.
