What's Wrong With This Picture
This is from a local online auction. The title is - Lot #: 1a - Jack-O-Matic Schrade pocketknife set. The description they give is - Jack-O-Matic Schrade pocketknife set. What is wrong with the picture and description. They have 3 other pictures, but no additional information.

The knife shown on the card is an automatic with a push button, and the knives loaded onto the card show no such mechanism.

And the pictured knife is a toothpick automatic while the knives on the card are easy open jacksOLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 9:17 pm The knife shown on the card is an automatic with a push button, and the knives loaded onto the card show no such mechanism.

Re: What's Wrong With This Picture
That's what I saw as well. They don't include a picture of the knives with the blades open or mention what brand of knives they actually are. You would assume from the description they are Schrade, but most likely not. The bidding is over $25 with 2 days to go.

That card has quite a bit of value by itself for the hard core switch blade collector .

Re: What's Wrong With This Picture
That set of knives brought $100 plus about 20% in commission. Higher than I expected. They also had one of those 5 knife sets of the American Eagle Commemoratives made by Schrade with Washington, Adams, etc. in a faux wooden frame that brought $170 plus 20% - that is over eBay price.
