Any Help here ?? PRESTO BSA "button opener"

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

Give us a link to that thread or post some pics here.

I don't collect switchblades, but several folks here do.

One of out members, Richard Langston, (lt632ret), wrote The Collectors Guide to Switchblade Knives.
He has one of the largest collections of Schrades in the world and a huge collection of switchblades.
Hopefully LT will see this post & amswer.
