For you automatic fans
I have developed the first (I THINK) DA action integral locking knife. It has a hidden release that cannot be detected.
It works fantastic in all the testing I have done. The knife looks just like the regular apogee except that is a da auto.
This sound impossible but it is true. I have designed the release to NOT dig into the leaf spring as most other DA (sear leaf spring) type releases do.
This causes the spring to become weak and fail on some knives after hard use.
The release I have design DOES NOT dig into the spring. It is very solid and reliable.
The purpose of a DA auto IMHO is to have a stealth release . This is so it (the release) cannot be detected. I guess thats the way I think. What use is a DA auto if the release
is not hidden? Well It is done ! It works great ! So... a knife with a lock that is great, great finish, fit and a hidden release just makes since to me... How about you?

What you see in this picture is what you get . There is no difference in cosmetics between the picture from a da to the manual apogee. This model (apogee extreme) can be purchased from Larry at www.knifeart.com only. For the standard apogee da you can purchase them from me ..

Thank God...I mean Darrel Ralph! What would we enthusiasts do without makers such as yourself?

I agree with your idea regarding the purpose of DA autos. I own a DA SOCOM and I love it, but I am confused as to the purpose of a DA with an exposed, high profile automatic release. What is the point besides the cool factor?

So, back to the DA Apogee...how much?
