EDGEMASTER FISHTAIL Pattern Vintage American Switchblade 

The Edgemaster Brand was made in the USA between 1936-1956, and this model brings back memories of the good ole days when things were so much more simple. Now extremely hard to find, this model features Blue Swirl Celluloid Handles.

Measures 4" closed. The 3 1/8" Mirror polished clip point blade is full. Blade is clean with minor stainging.  Tang is marked EDGEMASTER USA on the front side. No markings on the backside of the tang. Unique Celluloid Handles are a unique swirl of light and dark blues with a splash of green.

Celluloid handles show some shrinkage where you can see the brass liners are exposed on the edges; but unique color of handles makes this one a winner! (Celluloid, was the first successful synthetic plastic; it did have some disadvantages such as being very flammable and over time it may shrink). 

Sliding safety works. Action is superb. Blade has excellent lockup! Nearly rock solid. Blade "seats" deep into the handle.  Overall a excellent example of a vintage American classic. On AIK's grading scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being near perfect, we would rate this model at a 7.5.  Includes a custom zippered pouch. If you don't own an Edgemaster, this would make a nice example.
