James Huckeba (Huck) Switchblade, Marked "Flash 19 H 93", Unused
James Huckeba (Huck) Switchblade, Marked "Flash 19 H 93", Unused. James Huckeba started making custom knives in Georgia in the 70's. He made fixed blades initially but in the 90's started making switchblades. I stumbled across pictures of his knives and really liked them. Of course now I have some in my collection!
Huck died in 1996 so its hard to find information on the internet about him. I have talked with a lot of dealers and collectors who were around during the 90's and his knives were some of the nicest made in that time period. There are scattered references about him if you care to search. If you talk to collectors or dealers from the Southeast part of the country many know him and admire his work.
- Mirror polished blade. I don't know the blade material although my guess is ATS 34 based on previous Huck fixed blades I owned that were ATS 34.
- Micarta frame, stainless steel spine with file work.
- Coil spring, button open, button close mechanism.
- Handle appears to be some kind of wood but not sure what type.
- Marked "Flash H 93". Flash is reference to a dealer, Gordon (Flash Gordon) Wofford that commissioned and sold a lot of Huck switchblades.
- Never carried, used or sharpened. There are scratches on the back side of the handle which can be seen in the pictures. The blade is off center. I don't see any other condition issues. See the pictures as they represent the condition accurately.
- Functions great, fires open strong and locks up with very little blade play.
- approximately 8 inch total length, approximately 3 1/2 inch blade.
- Knife only.
