Can someone explain this to me please (strange overpriced knife)

Ugly IMO...looks like they trying to be creative but in real life scenario...how is that going to work...looks like one of those 1998 flip phone.
 
I have no idea why that would cost that much. It has lower end steel and seems almost impossible to deploy one handed no matter what they say. I gues it may appeal to the tacticool crowd though since it seems unusable in a practical manner and has a black blade.
 
That vid in post #2 shows how smoothly & fast it can be deployed.

Novel & interesting design. Other site has it for >$100 less. Not my thing though.

Perhaps this is a legal one-handed-opener that can be legally carried in certain countries and jurisdictions which outlaw traditional assisted-opening, auto and flipper knives.
 
It's definitely different... I'm with the OP though. Might be curious enough to give it a try if it was 1/10th that price.
 
I've got a swapmeet knife that is similar to a butterfly but operates with the flats of the handles (that probably makes no sense) and it reminds me of that thing. If that cost the same I'd buy it just for the novelty. Otherwise there are about 896 knives I'd buy before that one.
 
reminds me of a ''classic'' trifolder in the operation. just working on the side, probably easier and safer operation, the mecanism looks pretty clever to me ... the knife looks ridiculous but i see nothing bad in how it deploys ...
 
It won "Most Innovative Design" at '11 Blade Show.

Maybe the price is a "halo effect": trying to turn cachet into cash....
 
I saw these and didnt get it myself. They seem like a very expensive version of the schrade viper side assist. IMHO NOTHING with a aus-8 blade deserves that kind of price tag. Fox knives makes a version of this knife for PI as well and its called the light version. Honestly I will never understand this design. It will never be more than a gimmick to me and a poorly executed one at that.
 
looks like it might definitely develop some slop/play with that cover pivoting on that aluminum frame. looks cool when open though, like a DDR Maxx.
 
Difference from the CS Triple action is that the blade pivots on the horizontal axis, meaning the flat of the blade is swinging out not the edge. I would worry about lockup security (and I am not one to obsess about that) and yeah that seems very expensive for what it is.
