Bought em back when they sold them in 2 parts...and ya had to put em together yourself. To this day, after ya push the button...most people don't know how to close this type of knife. Over the years I had a few. Might still be some around here somewhere. My better ones had a sprung flap with a hole and the back of the blade at the hinge had a matching protrusion. They stayed open until intentionally closed. None seemed willing to accept and hold an edge on the blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at any knife. It speaks for itself. It tells ya what it's for. BTW...The Left bolster on that switchblade...Pushing it forward...unlocks the knife.

If you ever had a fist fight...you'd know how stupid things like that are. Especially now days. Less you're just sneaking up on a person. Worthless.

Great buy for me as pink camo wasn’t masculine enough and the price reflected that. Didn’t have it long, as one of my children rehomed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the second oldest commercial knife maker in the world. I used to really be in to butterfly knives, when I was young. I bought this one back when I got my current carry knife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 An older gentleman I know recently died. I helped clean out part of the house. They gave me a box of stuff from his office. Largely camera and electronic related parts and junk. I did find a few cool calligraphy pens and this knife. Marked Imperial. The interesting thing is the broken blade. It has a notch cut into the broken edge to make it easy to open and has been sharpened to a very sharp edge. He was using it for some specific purpose I guess.

I don’t know much about his work. He was an old Shriner I knew. A bunch of Masons are pitching in to help his son clean out the house. Thankfully not a horde but he just lived there 40 years. But the modification was intentional. You can see very fine file marks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
