Vintage Bristol Line gentleman’s pocket knife, made in Italy and tang stamped “Bristol Line Italy” on one side and “Stainless” on the reverse.
This is a classic mid-century Italian export manicure/gentleman’s knife, likely produced in Maniago between the 1950s–1970s. It features genuine mother-of-pearl scales and a useful multi-tool configuration designed for pocket or travel carry.
🔧 Tools include:
Main blade
Secondary blade
Scissors
Nail file with pick tip
Manicure / cuticle tool
The mother of pearl handles show beautiful natural swirl and luster. All tools open and close properly. Blades and tools show honest vintage wear consistent with age. A very attractive little dress knife and a nice example of Italian post-war cutlery.
These Bristol Line knives were produced for the U.S. market and are increasingly collectible, especially with real pearl scales and intact scissors.
