Inexpensive Chinese working switchblades

[Captain O]

I just ordered a 7.44" and a 9.44" black-scaled edition of these knives. Both were under $20.00 and appear to be great carry/user knives (utilitarian rather than just a "sticker"). Here's a picture of the 9.44" version(s).

Interesting, aren't they?

I worked on a lot switchblades when I first started fixing knives. The one thing all of the Chinese ones have in common is inexpensive metal springs. A lot of them break which renders your shiny new switchblade inoperable.
You mileage may vary.

I have had good luck with Ganzo Autos. The knives I have coming are "beater" knives. If they break, I'm not out a big chunk of change. These are an "experiment" (more or less).
