Vintage Flylock Knife Co double switchblade knife. Flylock was a division of Challenge Cutlery Corp of Bridgeport, CT in the 1920s. This is the larger size of the two bladed switchblades that the company made measuring 3 3/8" closed. The knife has two blades, each is activated by sliding an oval button, one on each side of the knife. The blades are mostly full with patina, light scratches and some spotting. The main blade is stamped Flylock over REG US PAT OFF and the back tang is stamped FLYLOCK KNIFE CO B'PORT CONN. The small blade has the same front markings as the big blade, but the back is stamped US PAT MARCH 5 1918. The small blade has a couple of nicks near the tip that you can see in the pics. The scales (handles) are Nickel silver with a hard-to-find pattern and are in good condition with one dent in the back scale. The knife functions well with no peek when closed. Blades open as they should with average lockup when open. Small blade has kickback, but usually lands open. Don't pass up this rare opportunity. ;^)
