Comments / Critiques On Boker Plus Dual Action Auto?

[Holger]

Hi,
I'm brand new here, this is my first post. I should also mention that I'm not an experienced knife person by any description. I recently ordered a Boker Plus dual action automatic knife and was wondering if anyone here would be willing to offer their thoughts or a review of this particular knife. I didn't pay a lot for it, $57.00 and that amount includes shipping. Still, I recently learned that these knives are manufactured somewhere in Asia so I'm afraid now that maybe I've purchased a POS. If you wnat ot see what it looks like, it's item number 01BO060 on the Boker USA website; they call it an Action 2. Thanks in advance for any information anyone may be willing to share.

Ok, here's what may be a stupid newbie question but I'd really like to know. Is the knife I ordered/described above an automatic (switchblade) knife or an assisted opening knife? The Boker USA website description of it and the sellers description of it are quite different. Again, thanks for any help/info.

Hello,
It is neither assisted opening, or automatic.
We can only import or sell manually opening knives due to federal law.
If it works via spring action, it was converted after we sold it.
There is a sticky at the top of the forum with more detail.

Thanks, Terry
