Did S&W ever make or sell an auto-opening knife/switch blade?

[da gimp]

years ago...... I purchased a very good quality switch blade back when I was a deputy.....from a very good dealer in this area.......... His opinion was that it was Bokker made for S&W....... and that he'd bought it from a police officer in a larger town near here ..... and that is what the man told him when he traded for it....... It lacks both Bokker's name & S&W's.... but sure looks like some of Bokker's better pieces that USGI's brought back from Europe circa late 1960's to early 1990's......

Very well made, & the blade takes a good edge...... in Missouri, now anyone who is not prohibited from owning weapons can own & carry a switchblade, if the blade does not exceed limits...........I believe it is still 4" or less.

Did he & I both fall for a sales pitch? He'd never would have lied to me to make the sale.......thanks guys........... if I can get a buddy to take pix for me, I'll try & post them here.

Added; I just don't remember Gant's Law Enforcement Equipment Supply carrying any knives back from the late 1960's to 1990's........ & supposedly this knife originated from a LEO supply house.. & Gant's had most of teh LEO trade back then............but I admit to having a bad case of CRS.....

Don't recall ever seeing one. However, about 2 years ago I bought the S&W M&P branded "assisted opening" survival knife in this pic:

At least in recent decades, NO S&W did not make any automatic knives.

However S&W did license various knife manufacturers over the recent years to produce S&W branded knives. These makers did produce automatic knives with the S&W logos on them

I guess if one period works, five are better?

This Smith and Wesson boxed knife is marked as made in R.O.C. For Taylor Cutlery. I'm left handed so I carried this knife on duty because of the ease of opening with my off hand.

Here are a couple pages from the Taylor Cutlery catalog #59 circa Jan. 1998.

the blade on ours is similar to the model 1250 above... but the handle is way different.......stainless with a large inset almost flush button...........but it still lacks the S&W logo..... so I'm wondering if the dealer & I both, just bought a well made knlfe with a decent $5.00 story..... if you know what I mean........... I'm only into it $75.00 & it's in great shape.....if any of the grand kids get into LEO work, she or he will inherit those type knives. the knife dates from at least 1994... & probably 1985-1986 if memory serves me right.

10mm, sir, I'm sorry if my use of spacer periods offends you..... they help me read longer paragraphs & even longer sentences.........

But I'm feeling pretty good if that's the very worst that I do, that you can find to complain about........ have a great day sir.... and may you be safe, enjoy life & journey well through it 10mm.
