It's not a switchblade or OTF but when you slide that steel button it pops out (like a penknife about a quarter open) and all you do it flick your wrist and it's locked and ready. My guess is the designer wanted something that would not fail. Texas: I'll bet now you could buy that knife for $10 in Cambodia , if you had your shots and insurance and were ready to do a week quarantined in a Phnom Penh hotel room.

Ah! Benchmade's Axis Lock. I have that one and the mini-grip. 154CM steels, that's discontinued now.

There's some really decent clones these days. My Chinese $30 Ganzo knife is a pretty solid offering that rips off the AXIS lock you mentioned.

I believe you since my buddy was very pleased to see it and hear the price. He bought two and would get high and fool around with them in the hotel room. He's a crazy-ass lawyer from Houston who was a lot of fun to travel with.
