Re: The New Presto Flying Jack
I believe that those other 20 motorized displays still belong to your family, even though lost in a landfill. And although it would be a hollywood dream, digging them up and restoring just one to auction off for a charity would make an amazing chapter in Schrade history.

Thanks, Bill. That is awesome too.bill schrade wrote: ↑Fri Feb 06, 2026 2:30 am IMG_3161.jpeg
Table top display. The thumb press the button and the blade closes and opens. DC powered with an electro magnet. A one and only, not operational.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Here's another one. It's wired for AC and DC. I was going to restore but when I opened it it was full of asbestos insulation.

Re: The New Presto Flying Jack
Are there factory mounted switchblades on any of the display boards?

Sorry for the poor quality. I have to find all the originals.

I found more of the photos. The Schrade collection had a small but mighty Italian switchblade collection. Incredible pieces. One of them is one of the most obscure and unique Italian switchblades ever made. I have one just like. The only two known in that size. Of course mine is nowhere nearly as nice as the mint one from the Schrade collection.
