I am new here and wanted to seek information on an auto knife I found.
I’m thinking it came from the boarder by SanDiego after a trip from Asia . Tiny little thing! First I’ve seen in this configuration. I’m wondering how I can get the tiny pins out to fix it.
. It needs a few surgeries.

That's an interesting variation, I don't believe I've seen that one before. Can't find a picture of another one online. Could be a rare one.

Ya,it’s a rare one !
It will be rare if I can fix it. If I can drive the tiny pins out. (After I start over on the Italy /import handle I muffed.) oh god!

You've been here since 2008, Smitty, how long are you going to be "new here"?

Time is relative young weed hopper. I was being facetious. Or as you mortals say,” not serious”.

Welcome JW
The blade looks like one from bullfighter. Maybe the Japanese makers of the time were going for a combo auto/camping knife. Pretty unique. Does it look like it was ever taken apart maybe?

Leave the small slab pins in place.,the three larger "through pins" are all that you need to remove to separate the two sides allowing access to the blade,back and spring.
