Clint, that's a great story and a very interesting knife. I had to laugh, though. Most prison shanks are not engraved, much less automatics!

Both of those badges are beautiful and interesting, as well.

Cheers!

While I was in Kosovo as a UN police officer a Captain from the Ukrainian Police Service who was also a UN police officer there, gave me an auto which was made in a Ukrainian prison by a prisoner.  This little knife works flawlessly.  (Same post will be posted elsewhere.)

That would make them of fine quality. The only classic pocket knives I have used were buck and case. Since my adventure with IKC I have found a whole new world of fine pocket knives.

Well Guy, they are marked Schrade Walden but I know they are manufactured by GEC

I joined the Switchblades group because I have had many fine modern OTFs And OTFs. I have not had the pleasure of up close and personal with quality classic switchblades. I'm hoping to be introduced to the higher quality classics. Thanks for the opportunity.

this is the best i know of... he wontdo your cheapo switches...like your imperials and so forth...but he can do almost anything else... he can easily fit ya a spring... i just talked with kaleb about 2 days ago.he was one of the first restoration guys i ever trusted. i have known him for years now and would send him anything to restore!... also i dont know about pricing on switches with MM but honestly if you are trying to have a switch fixed in the USA...money cant really be a main concern...just getting the knife back to working should be... smetimes certain work just costs more simply out of demand... and no competition ..ya know.. here is link to his switch page and then you can go from their... if mentined before i am sorry. http://www.muskratmancustomknives.com/custom.html ~~ hope i helped~~
