Reverse OTF Knife

This little OTF knife works in reverse. You push the gray button at the bottom and the protective sheath around the blade pulls into the handle.

Tekna. Made in the 1980s.

A curious design; all the advantages of a conventional OTF but 40% longer. I presume the advantage is that the knife is rigid and 100% ready as soon as the button is pushed, whereas a conventional OTF blade can be blocked before it fully extends and locks.

The downsides are:
1. You have to press the button on the bottom, which is awkward compared to pressing a button.
2. The sheath doesn't cover the blade automatically. You have to pull it out and hope that you don't slice your fingers.
But it is very cool, in a funky kinda way.
