I was talking with a coworker and the topic of knives came up. Weird, right?
Anyway, the coworker mentioned seeing someone trade an old knife that had to be tapped to unlock it before it could be opened for a more modern knife.
I can't find anything like that with internet searches and it's not something I've ever seen or heard of.
I'm assuming there's some kind of small weight inside the knife that locks the mechanism unless the knife is tapped (on end) on a hard surface to move the weight out of the way and unlock the knife.
Anyone heard of or seen anything like that?
