Schrade Cut Co medium double Black waterfall celluloid switchblade knife

This knife was made by the Schrade Cutlery Co of Walden, NY sometime between 1916 and 1946. This knife was designated the 7404AC with Black waterfall celluloid scales and brass liners. It has two blades that are each activated by pressing one of two buttons (one on each side). The knife measures 3 3/8" closed and 7" with both blades open. The knife has seen light use over the years but both blades are nearly full and shiny with some light scratches. The large blade is stamped SCHRADE CUT CO WALDEN NY and the pen blade is marked with three patent dates, 09,10 & 16.

The knife works well with both blades seated good closed, both open fully when buttons are pressed and both lock open, but the pen blade does kick back a bit. The scales are beautiful and in good condition. Great old knife in very good condition.
