I put a new spring in this ol' Geo. Schrade about 10 months ago, still fires great.

Nice one Dale. LOL.
Would love to get a couple of them in Oz, but alas, that will never happen.

Re: American Switches
Wiseguy, I don't like to use the term rare very often but calling that Presto fairly rare is a bit of an understatement.
Kieth, You are going to be hard pressed to ever upgrade that knife. Beautiful condition.

Re: American Switches
My latest pickup, I could not get the etch to show. It's ATLANTIC, in block letters.
Re: American Switches
Love the double ended knives any idea what the etch was named after/for on this piece ?
