Anyone know of a better piece than this demo machine with 7 mint autos? When turned on the thumb presses the button and opens the blade, a lever presses the back button for the back blade, a lever closes the master blade, another lever closes the back blade, and it repeats.

As displayed at the 2006 Knives Illustrated Spirit of Steel Show. It was an award winner for owner Jerry Skelton.

Very neat what a way to advertise. What year were they put into use? and discontinued? Also I think maybe in doing some reading I run into an old post/thread by LT w/ one of these?
 
That's just incredible! Can't say as I've ever seen anything like it, looks solid too, although that thumb is a little creepy:eek: .

That's super nice, TKM...

I have seen pics of this machine before...

Very cool piece of history.

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome. I met a guy once when I picked up a knife from him. He said he attended a show and was describing this thing that was capable of opening and closing 7 switchblades at a time. I was very confused. This must have been it. I don't think he said Schrade, but it stands to reason.
