Re: Pull Ball Switch Blade Knives
I just picked up this dice pull/pull dice from Steve, ad knife for PITTS STEEL & TOOL CO, stamped G. SCHRADE, KNIFE CO INC, BPORT CT USA, patent dates on the pile side. The trick to their functionality is blade loss. If too much of the tip is sharpened away or broken, the keeper won't hold the blade closed. This one has a pretty full blade that was not stored in the best of conditions. I only removed the rust.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Pull Ball Switch Blade Knives
Does anyone have dimensions for the spring and/or a picture? I have one but the spring is broken and I was going to attempt a repair.

Re: Pull Ball Switch Blade Knives
The spring in these knives looks simple-but it isn't. It's both the kickspring and the backspring, and the blade stop.
Unlike most leaf springs, they are thinner side to side than they are thick.
Your knife likely has the remnant of it's spring still inside. Use that for a pattern. Make yours exactly like the factory spring. The curve and length you'll have to figure out for yourself.

Re: Pull Ball Switch Blade Knives
Recently, this pocket knife arrived and it now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to be added to my general pocket knife collection. It came in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. However, I did NOT buy the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. It is a one blade, 3 1/4" closed (including the pull tab), 5" open (including the pull tab), all metal, advertising, pull and push tab, pattern or style of pocket knife. It is NOT a pull ball automatic pocket knife. It is a pull and push tab, manual pocket knife. You pull the tab out to open the knife. You push the tab in to close the knife. The pull and push tab function works perfectly. There are NO tang stamps. The bottom of the knife says "JOS S FINCH & CO INC SCHENLEY PA" (a distillery). On the pull and push tab, it says "PAT. PEND." The main handle side says "Golden Wedding" - "HAS HAD NO PEERS FOR - 50 YEARS" The other handle side says "5 GREAT WHISKIES SKILLFULLY - "WEDDED" INTO ONE - A BLEND OF STRAIGHT WHISKIES-90 PROOF" The blade does ride a little high in the saddle. But overall, it is in GOOD condition. It required some minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
