Just picked up this American switch. Very well made, the spring is in the blade pivot pin. Seems to be a decent weight and size, excellent materials.

John! Your Piranha IS a very well built knife. Can't remember if yours is a "Bodyguard" or a "Prowler" model, but both are of equal quality and operation. The spring around the pivot is referred to as a "coil-spring" operated auto. Very nice score, enjoy it! 8)

Can you tell a difference in the quality between the three?
I've often read that the Logan Smyth was inferior.

Thanks, Mark. ::handshake::


Most definitely, David. The Logan/Smyth doesn't lock closed as cleanly but does spring open and lock open properly. So it gets a lesser rating in my book. Seems to be made the same, though, with the same materials.

I have an OKC like yours coming on Saturday. 8) ::tu:: (Mine doesn't have the serrations. I prefer it that way). Is the knife's blade made from Bohler N690?

That little pull ball switchblade is neat. I have one similar that is a Remington.
