All this switchblade talk here lately has got me wanting one. I've never had one ,don't know anything about them. I looked around for a few minutes and ordered this one.

Do any of y'all know anything about this knife? I just ordered it out of blind faith and ignorance and I wanted it:).

It came in today, I didn't know what to expect, but I really like it. It arrived very sharp, but I'm going to use the ultra-fine stones on my Sharpmaker to make it better.

Very nice switchblade Mike. And from what I've learned in these past days obsessing about them Frank makes really quality knives. Good purchase [emoji106]

Nice pickup, I'd really like to know what steel and the rockwell of the steel. What's it's intended purpose? Carry for sd? Just another collector?

The majority of the inexpensive ones are mainly for the novelty collector in my opinion and just to say that I have a switchblade and to add an automatic knife to the collection. Nothing at all wrong with them but they are not something I would stake my life on if need be.

The ones in the $100.00 and up range are the collectibles, again just my opinion. I recently sold a Latama Kriss blade that I had for $1800.00 to a collector who wanted it more than I did. Of course like anything I have ever sold I now regret it!

I bought mine just to keep as a collectible. I'd never had one, I wanted to buy a nice one just to have.
