Spring Action is superb with excellent lockup=(Very minor Slight up/down blade movement in the open position) . Very clean piece. (inside and out). 

Safety works fine. Blade seats deep in the handle.  No rivet cracks. Slight handle shrinkage. Measures 4 1/4" closed. Overall open is 7 1/4". 3 1/8" Blade is full and shows some signs of staining on both sides but polished clean. Overall very good condition. Front side of the Tang is marked "SCHRADE WALDEN NY USA".  

Schrade is now out of business and these have become a highly sought after for both knife and military collectors. Includes a custom zippered storage pouch. Highly Recommended. Nice examples like this are hard to find.
