I tried for awhile searching for a picture of a Top otf in the forum but the results came up being too vague of a search. My memory seems to recall them being like a cheap Nato otf? Maybe? Or I may be thinking of ones that say Top secret.

I believe this might be one. It's mine, from a sale/trade with another member. I'll try to get around to removing the cover and snap a pic to show the guts in correct placement and complete. Most likely what's missing in our new friend's knife is one or both release levers.

Maybe one of these-

If it is one of those, and if you are in the US, there are TOP switch-combs available on ebay for $17 (free shipping). If the internal parts are the same, you might buy one of the switch-combs to learn on and acquire any missing parts you might need. A pic from that listing-

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.
