Presto G Schrade

Post by Pops62 »

Since I have been frequenting the forums lately I have been pulling out some knives I have. This is an old Presto. It is supposed to flip open with the button but the mechanism is not working. The handles are in really nice shape. The blade not so much.

Nice one! Might have a broken/missing the throw spring. Look inside the well, there should be a slightly-curved metal spring sticking up. That is what provides resistance when you close the blade. If you don't have any resistance when closing the blade, that could be the cause...
