Some Paratroopers
I think these are all referred to as paratroopers. Some may be for the civilian market, not sure.

Re: Some Paratroopers
Very nice! The Edgemaster was never an issue item.
There is conflicting consensus if the metal Prestos were ever issued. My feeling is that they were.

Re: Some Paratroopers
This Presto could be military issue, but I'm pretty sure the Schrade is late 50's and Civilian.

The black Schrade-Walden model 155 with bail was US military issue from the late 1950s until the orange MC-1 came about in the mid 1960s.
