Logan Smyth Venice FL Orange Paratrooper MC1 vintage automatic knife

Logan Smyth MC1 Orange military paratrooper switchblade knife made for the US government under contract, but they could not meet the quality standards set for them, so they lost the contract back to Camillus in the 1990s and were made for less than one year. The knife measures 4.25 inches closed and 7 3/8 inches with clip blade open and it has steel liners. The clip blade is marked LOGAN/SMYTH VENICE, FL and is full with original factory finish and some scratches and a slight tweak at the tip. The hook blade is like new and has spring tension as it should. The orange jigged scales are in great condition. The knife works great with the clip blade tip just above the liners closed, good snap and locks open with about 1/16" up and down and side to side. Safety works. EX condition.
