Thanks. I need to get home to review my reference book on American switchblade makers. Tag said 1918…

Nice knife, schmoozer.
I got one a while back with a clip blade.

Not finding much on the web, except for a mint example that was sold.

schmoozer and FRJ great looking Flylocks. I have seen Flylock and Presto examples with a hawkbill blade. The Flylock examples seem to have 2 variations the blade. I also believe the Flylocks were made both with an etch and without.

Thank you, sir.
To no ones surprise, more fine examples of your pristine knives. Always a pleasure to view.

Great knives guys

Ralph, i think maybe the 2nd knife shown was simply sharpened down a bit, not necessarily a different blade grind?? Regardless, very neat!
