Vintage Colonial Snappy Fishtail Automatic Pocketknife
Mid Century Colonial Snappy Fishtail automatic knife, used.
The handles of this knife are pretty worn, there's cracks and discoloration, although mostly they are intact.
The knife itself works, and locks in place when opened, and also locks when closed. The closed position has the blade resting above the liners so that the point can get caught on things.
The safety works as well, however there is a some wobble to the blade when it's opened which to me seems typical of this genre.
The metal has patina on it, but no rust. The liners appear to be bent in some places. Also the attached bail also seems to have been bent.
All in all this knife has clearly been used, but still does the job and is an interesting blue piece.
This knife comes from my grandfather's collection that I recently inherited. I don't know how he came by this knife other than he was an outdoorsman, and liked to visit local flea markets. That's my only knowledge of it, as I am not a professional kinfe dealer by any means.
Attached is a youtube video where I describe this item.
If not satisfied I'll accept returns minus shipping costs in the same condition sent out.
The price is firm, I really would rather not entertain offers, I apologize.
Thank you for looking!
