Anyone else been reduced to nine and a half fingers
due to this unique patten?
These things close 10 times faster than they open
They use a "rack and pinion" system to open and close them.
I've also herd them referred to as "ratchet knives".
Anyone got other examples?

The knight is unmarked, Pete. I have only seen
two others, another black one and a red one.
I haven't seen any other chess pieces than the knight.
The bottle opener is indeed hammered brass.
There is a nail file along the top edge of the back of the blade.
It is marked:
HICKOK
USA
The copper plated one with the crown is marked:
JET
KNIFE
CORP.
MADE IN U.S.A.
