This knife opens when the blade is pointed down and closes the opposite. (Imperial)

Yep, I've got one just like it. Called a trick or magic knife.

Imperial made knives like that for a long time. It was a good locking mechanism to keep the knife from opening in your pocket. I'm not sure who all else made them like that.

These are fun knives to hand to someone and ask if they will open it for you.

HiPower has a good memory, maybe too good.
What I need to know is if anyone ever figured out how to punch that little ball bearing back in there? I opened my first one with a pair of pliers!!
Somehow, that rascal manages to bring it up ever time he gets a chance.

LoL I did the same thing the first time I got hold of one. I just thought it was stuck.

I picked one up like this today at a yard sale. My son & I had a great time trying to figure out how to open it. Finally got it open and found out it is in mint condition. Probably because no-one was able to open it to use it. Going in my collection.

I doubt that they were made for cutting, though I guess you could, but more as a novelty. ::tu::
