Yes it should open when the botton is pushed.There may be someone who could repair it but I don't know who that would be.

When you say switchblade, you mean it should flip open when you push the button? Any thoughts on whether that's something that can be repaired?

Your knife is a grizzly Also it is a switchblade. If it works right it can be worth quite a bit.

Hello fellow knife enthusiasts. I'm looking for insight as to age and any other info on an old folding knife my grandpa left me. It's stamped ka-bar. That's about all I know. Any thoughts?

I guess Case knives are a favorite for me because I know more about them than others. I also like to sell one once in a while.I guess I view the PLATTS as very rare because I just see very few of them. This old folder is quite a gem!

I like Utica cuttlery and Case

What's your favorite American vintage knife company?
Some of my favorites are case, imperial and Camillus.

Wow, they have changed!!!  Would have never know what that was with a screwdriver handle if I didn't know about the vintage scribes.
