Overview
This Mike Irie swing lock folder features a satin finish blade and satin finish stainless steel frame with micarta scales. This is a unique scissor opening folder, which when the blade is fully open and locked in place is almost a fixed blade knife. The handle is nicely contoured for a comfortable grip. Opening is accomplished by lightly pressing down and outward at the rear indentation on the spine, which releases the locking pin and allows one side of the handle and the blade to rotate down then forward until the blade locks in the forward position. The one side of the handle continues to rotate back until it locks in place. Closing requires the same slight thumb pressure at the indentation to release the locking pin, then the one side of the handle is rotated back and around, catching the blade and aligning both with the other side of the handle in a locked closed position. Has some scratches on the blade and frame, but otherwise excellent condition. Includes the original box and COA. Dated Feb 97.
