A coworker of mine brought in a weird little pocketknife that has a really strange method of locking and unlocking. In order to open the knife you must push in on the blade and knock the end of the knife on a table or other hard surface. Then you let off pressure on the blade and it will open and lock open. To close it you have to again knock the end on a hard surface and then it will allow you to close the knife.
I couldn't find any manufacturers markings, the only thing I saw as a very hard to read patent number stamped on the blade. My coworker said the knife is around 50 or so years old, maybe more.
Any ideas who made this knife or what kind of locking mechanism this is?
