Presto Flying Jack
Got mine today. Designed by George Schrade in 1937, not produced until now by great grandson Bill Schrade. Extremely nice fit and finish, zero blade play.

Re: Presto Flying Jack
I disassembled the original prototype for Bill. He measured and mapped everything out.
I helped him with suppliers, etc., and then reassembled the original knife.

Re: Presto Flying Jack
Extremely well done in all aspects.
Re: Presto Flying Jack
Very nice, Tom. I was wondering if any of the regulars here would end up with one. If my memory is correct, the run was rather small but I don't remember the exact number made.

Re: Presto Flying Jack
Good day Bill , I am wondering if you have any photos of the original? I and probably others here would love to see them. Thanks
