Those are some neat knives. Here is some interesting info about where the slogan came from.

Very recently, my trip to the post office produced this "Say it with Flowers" pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the latest example to be added to my collection. It is a SCHRADE, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 5/8" closed, long main blade pull, one spring, "French Ivory" handles or scales, florist pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "SCHRADE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The secondary blade back tang stamp says, "SCHRADE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The main handle side says, "AMERICAN FLORIST SUPPLY CO." The other handle side says, "Say it with Flowers" The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap.The main blade does have an OK closing snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. This is only the second, "Say it with Flowers" pocket knife I've seen and acquired, that has two blades. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. I did have to clean it just a little bit. I took some pictures and here it is.
