Grail Schrade Cut Co Hunters Pride

[Augie]

Snagged this Schrade Cut co Hunters Pride auto Sunday, have wanted one for years but they are few and far between.
Boy,was I surprised when I pulled it out of the package today, I did not expect it to be so big, almost 5" with quite a bit of mass. Looks to be in honest 90% condition.

Duncan, as Paul states I think that shows the progression in the changes made in the switchblade design if I'm reading right. I am far from an expert in these and trying to learn all I can.

Thanks guys, I figured they were of a Patent date, but this is the first that I have seen with numerous Dates.

I've never even seen a pic of one of those! It must have been stored in an optimal place to look that nice. The edge looks factory. Beautiful knife!--KV
