Here's 2, the bottom one is a PCC/Barry Wood swinglock folder. These came out in the 80s Wood was famous for his MK1 which was a similar knife made by him early on.

The top one is a similar knife in operation, made by a short lived Italian company called Delta Z and they called it the 360* Pivot.

Well.... I finally found myself an all metal knife that I REALLY LIKE.
It is a patriotic theme knife with a flag and "USA" stamped into the handles.
(I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes here.... I had to "nuke" the bid at the end to get it.)

It needs some cleaning and looks like it needs some tightening.

Looks like it was made by Armstrong Cutlery Co.

It was made by Meriden Knife Co.
