Re: help with Top automatic otf knife

Do a Google search for "Edgeco Special Forces OTF instructions." The knife is the same as the Top Automatic. I know the instructions are out there. However, if you cannot find the instructions I'll post one of mine.

I had one back in early 1992-1993 when they were still made in Solingen. After breaking it in one could open this little Boker fast and easily. Too bad they stopped making them.
