Vintage Remington double switchblade made by the George Schrade Knife Co of Bridgeport, CT in the late 1930s, early 40s under contract by Remington. It was designated the model R8065 MW and still has the original Copper Beryllium spring. The knife measures 3 3/8 inches closed and 7 1/8 inches with both blades open and has brass liners and nickel silver buttons and safeties. The blades are both full and retain all of the original factory finish including an acid etch on the face of the main blade that reads Remington Master Knife with a small pitted area near the tip of the blade. Both blades are stamped Remington on the front. The large blade would normally be stamped R8065 on the back of the tang , but this one does not have that. Pretty sure they just missed it in production. The knife works well with both blade tips seating below the liners closed, both open strong. Large blade has tight lockup open, small blade has slight up and down and a little kickback. Safeties both work. EX+ condition overall.
