9" Coricama - INOX
This 9" (23cm) Coricama picklock apparently had a broken tip at one time, and someone must have attempted to reshape the blade at the tip. Leaving the blade slightly short, a blunt tip and a touch of blade peek. It made the knife rather difficult for me to love. But, I ran across it today and noticed something I found odd about it. Normally (seems always) on Coricama stainless blade knives, we see INOXID under the Coricama stamp. Honestly, I never read what the "ID" part of INOXID meant. But, this particular Coricama has just INOX on the reverse side. I don't own too many Coricama stamped knives, but think I've seen quite a few. Maybe someone that's seen (or owns) even more, know if it's "odd" to just have INOX stamped on the back of a Coricama?

It's unusual, but I'm not sure it has any bearing on value.
Use a fine file and carefully reshape the top of the blade tip- if it's not peeking too badly.

Re: 9" Coricama - INOX
Thanks, Bill. Wasn't really thinking it helped value, just found it rather "odd". Of course, I could be having a touch of memory loss, but I just can't recall seeing INOX on the back of a Coricama like that. I'm afraid the shortened blade made the peek a bit worse than it would have been full length.

I haven't seen one with just INOX. While the blade might not be perfect, IMO you sure have a nice knife. Great stag on that one.

Never mind the tip, Chris - that is a classic.
