American Switches

[johnnierotten]

Dimitri...those are sweet ...never seen a metal scaled one.

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Johnnie

That is a Presto, the handles were cheaply made metal to simulate jigged bone and sold at a lower cost than a real bone handle knife

[johnnierotten]

That’s the first one that I have seen...you would think since it was a lower dollar knife..there would be more around.
Then on the other hand.. they probably got used more...beat up more, then tossed.

[Miller Bro's]

The ones marked Edgemaster are very common.

Very similar painted black handle, but for some reason the Presto marked ones are harder to find

[Miller Bro's]

That is neat Dimitri.Did you buy your locally? I got mine on e-bay a couple years ago for a VERY reasonable price.

Got it in Mass. not far from my home

It was the first switch letter opener I ever found


You got a real good find there

The only one I own.E-bay had some real deals if you knew where to look. I used to find more daggers listed as letter openers. When I first got into e-bay I used to have a limit of $20 on anything I bought.That changed when a guy beat me out with a bid of $25 for an Abraham Davery Bowie circa 1850 that was listed as a letter opener!
The Schrade was a good one;set me back $15 with shipping.
