Another funky OTF

[prober996]

Here is a Boker-Matic Argentina (whatever that means!) that is spring loaded to pull the blade back in, but not to deploy it. To deploy the blade, you push the scale to the right and then push up on the thumb device. The blade then locks into place when the scale slides back into alignment. Once the blade is deployed, you push the scale to the right and the blade pulls back in very strongly. Being a geek, I love this kind of stuff.

I think quite a few of us had those pre internet days when it was hard to acquire auto knives.

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.
