I just bought one of these knives - OP-64, mid-sized stainless. Although a 100 year old wood handled knife design should qualify for this forum, I guess technically the ring mechanism makes this a lock blade somehow.....
But my real question is whether there is some drawback to this knife that I have yet to discover. It was dirt cheap (under $10), came quite sharp, and is amazingly light for its size. The description says "pearwood" handles, but it weighs like balsa. The simple round handle feels great, and rides easily in my pocket. The ring even makes a safety lock when the blade is closed. So can anyone tell me when I will discover why they are so inexpensive?
