I don't know anything about automatic knives. I worked with a guy about 20 years ago who gave me this knife. I really never liked it or carried it. I just put in in my box of knives and forgot about it. Well long story short He did not know it was an automatic and I did not know it. He just opened it up by the blade. Well, When I moved, I noticed it in my knife box and was examining it. I noticed the side bolster moved some. I pushed on it and the knife sprung open.
I still don't like it but am curious about it. The only thing on the knife is China. Any information would be appreciated.
