This knife has never been used,carried, or sharpened and has spent the last 50+ years sitting in a box with a few other knives!!

12. Imperial Jack-o-Matic Jr model JM96PB with Red/Pearl streaked celluloid handles. This is the actual knife featured in my book on pg 76 and I believe it to be a prototype/research & development knife that was taken home by an employee. The blade and shackle are different than any other mini Imperial that I’ve ever seen. It does not work very well and doesn’t stay closed as well as it should. Let’s just call it a curio with a spot in history ;o)             Good  $125

13. Last, but NOT LEAST is a VERY RARE FLYLOCK SMALL Letter Opener switchblade!! Until a couple of years ago I didn’t even know that these existed!! I had seen a picture of one in the book George Schrade and His Accomplishments years ago, but assumed that it was just a prototype. I have since seen three of these knives and this is the only one I’ve seen with silver handles. This example has never been used! The blade is full and unsharpened with original finish and a little pitting on the back. The handles are like new and crisp! The knife measures 2 7/8” closed, 7 ¾” including the letter opener and 9 3/8” overall with the blade open. It has a rectangular box for engraving initials. Super Rare piece!                                                    EX++  $750
