This knife is sold.

The bayonet blade tip sits right at liner. The blade has been sharpened, but in great shape, overall. The knife lacks typical “Rizzuto stamping” and is only marked “stainless steel”.

Thanks, Bill!

I’m curious about attempting a restoration/repair. Do Edgemaster switchblades use a pivot bushing like the ones found on similar (Imperial, Hammer Brand, Shur Snap, Presto) antique American automatics? Thanks!

I used only pins and I attached jigged mesquite scales made from some scrap that my late father had. I, of ...

Thanks! Great info!

SOLD I’m asking $110 shipped, for this blue Super Automatic. It seems to be a less common color. It is the older “pinned bolster” variety. (I really don’t collect OTFs. ). I would also consider trading for American, Italian, Or German switchblades in need of repair or for parts. It works perfectly, ...

Quick Release works best for me and is my regular choice for autos!
