That looks like one of those old magic knife kits! They used to come in a kit! I love those things.
Where did you manage to find this now rare piece?

Seems like such a simple concept, that is very complicated. Every piece fits together "just so".

This is a kit knife? Hope it isn't worth anything. Because it's not now. I found it on Gunbroker.

Remember me telling you this in one of your earlier threads? :roll:

Looks like 1995 or newer on the "switch" model.

But to be honest I don't think the op's knife is a switch model assembled by Frank B. I believe it is one of those kit knives sold in the blister packs that you could assemble yourself. My chemo brain doesn't recall things as well as they used to but I think they were called "Magic knife kits" I bought a few from Stu and they are worse than the FB switch model. I say this because I don't think any of the Frank B knives have "stiletto" on the blade. Also the FB "switch" models I have seen have rivets for blade pivots; not a screw.

My memory is bad. Anyway, I have different people telling me different things. The knife is broken, time to move on.

I used to buy these in Reno or in and around Nevada for 20$ they were some of the best memories I have of switchblades as a teenager. Used to make me feel tough like a real bad ass lol me and my punk rock friends. I remember one time a cop rolled up on me and some friends drinking in the cemetery and I got searched being “underage in California at the time”...had one of these on me ...cop said he let us go if he could keep the knife and if we promised not to say anything about it. Lol those were the days. You’re not that cop are you.... j/k

If I can recall the blade is a little to short for the handle.... not yours but the ones that didn’t say stiletto on the blade... the older model magic kit knifes 8.5 ones like in my pictures I posted
