Hey Dale. Nice knife! I've always loved those lazy guard Presto's and Flylock's as well the Presto Derby's.

This is the first time I've seen a auto hawkbill. Where on earth does one find such treasures? Over last weekend I attended the gun and antique show here in town, Met a collector that had a schrade swinguard. Price was right but I was late. Looked like it came streight from the factory. Oh well. Makes a good fish story. Nice bllades guys. I love these.

Steve,
Several manufactures made hawkbill switchblades. Presto made them of course, in both black plastic/celluloid and bone. Flylock made them as well.
