Help please identify my dad’s knife
Any help would be appreciated in identifying and determining the value of my dad’s knife, which I inherited. It may be from the 1950’s, but I’m not sure. I think it is a Latama stiletto switchblade with Brazilian bone handles and a picklock release. I’m going to give it to my son-in-law and would like to tell him more about it.. thanks!

Your correct on Latama and someone will be along shortly with an estimate on its worth. You may even get some offers.

It's really a shame that Dad owned a bench grinder. He almost destroyed the blade. These knives were not meant to be sharpened.
