Presto Flying Jack

Post by TazmanTom »

Got mine today. Designed by George Schrade in 1937, not produced until now by great grandson Bill Schrade. Extremely nice fit and finish, zero blade play.

They are very nice little knives.
I had a small part in the production of these.

I disassembled the original prototype for Bill. He measured and mapped everything out.
I helped him with suppliers, etc., and then reassembled the original knife.

Very nice, Tom. I was wondering if any of the regulars here would end up with one. If my memory is correct, the run was rather small but I don't remember the exact number made.
