Mr.Big,They had quite a few for sale on K.S. recently as being new old stock.I could be wrong but I believe they may have been made by jndiana.They are advertised on AB but have been out of stock for a long time.They are nice little knives.They are button release.They could be from the 60s or a lot more recent.For the full facts you will need Reds opinions.I appologise if my details are not 100% I have one of the larger red acrylic ones and it is a good snapper! :wink: Cheers the spotlight kid. 8) P.S. If you want one they still have a few on K.S. 38Euros+.

I agree with Spotlight, I also had seen them on KS as new old stock. SKM also advertised them, but been out of stock for a few years. Wait for advise from the experts, have seen them before on BA.

Depends on the definition of "old", I've heard they were dis-continued sometime between the early 70s - early 90s hopefully someone can come closer than that on when they stopped making them.

I had heard they stopped making them in the 70's.
