I watched your restoration posts for this knife Paul, and the final product is exceptional, nice job. Even though autos are illegal in the U.K., just like here in Canada, they're still a ton-of-fun for quenching one's "click therapy", IF you can get your hands on any.

Agreed my friend, nothing more satisfying than having someone ask "anyone got a knife?", and you whip out an auto and crack it open, oooh's and awwwh's galore!

Yep, me too Paul. Even though they can't safely(fear of seizure)leave the house, I still very much enjoy cleaning, oiling, and firing my autos. I can't get enough of the "crack" I hear every time I fire one, cutlery music to the ears! I have 3 new beauties currently on the way, including one all the way from Armenia with a very unique shape. I'll post pic as they arrive!

Your model with the MOP covers I'm sure was a beauty, shame it's long gone, but you do have this one now. I too did some minor smuggling way back when, when I brought 3 autos back from my honeymoon in Mexico, 1 cheap side-opener(not a Rizzy), and 2 cheap OTF's, and as cheap as those were I still had a bunch of fun with them til they broke. My obsession with autos pretty much started there, and I've been trying to acquire them ever since. When I use to deal with Roadsideimports.com before they closed their doors, I'd read on his site about all the stupid laws regarding autos around the world, and the U.K. and Canada were in the same boat, but Canada Customs has now declared war on even a manual with a thumb-stud that can be flicked open after starting the blade out with the stud, so when I can get an auto past them by having the blade sent separately I'm one happy camper! Be sure to watch for the new models I post in the near future, as I'm sure you'll like em'!
