Spyderco Custom Knife Bi-Fold Assisted Opening Knife (Rare)

When you see this brilliant design by Sal Glasser at Spyderco you may ask yourself how can it be an automatic if the blade never moves? After all it's the handle that technically swings open.

The classification has an automatic essentially comes from customs being unwilling to import this design with any other classification. The unique trigger mechanism also makes it a challenge to get around the classification as an automatic knife. Still this discontinued model represents excellent ingenuity, design, and workmanship from one of the best production knife companies.
