All About Pocket Knives

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

Nice group of knives

That's an awesome group.

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.

A fine looking group John!

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.

Two real beauties John! How come you haven't shown them to us until now?

Thanks for the info, Bill.
