AGA Campolin Switchblade
This is really a nice auto, but I don't understand the lever for releasing the blade? It does not fold flat and I'm not sure if it was designed that way.

Re: AGA Campolin Switchblade
It appears as though it is mounted backwards.I would remove the pin and reverse the lever so it faces to the rear.Should be enough movement in it to get a fingernail under to lift it.M<aybe it is supposed to act as a guard.

When is it? I haven't talked to Guy Manwaring recently but I was thinking about going over one day anyway.I 've been trying to get hold of him to show him that Case V-42 I bought awhile back.
Are you setting up again this year? If I make it I'll buy you a cup of coffee and we can chat.

Same here:

You can lay the lever flat on to the blades back.

Re: AGA Campolin Switchblade
This will be a collective for all those autos you listed: Johnny sure had some great and beautiful knives
The man had an eye for them

Take the lever off and put a split ring through the hole.
Here are a couple I have done.
