Dear Vanquish
Please excuse my ignorance but how does the auto-dag operate. Ive never seen one, and can see it is a side opener, but surely not button operated? I really cannot decide which one I like the most, both are so beautifully made.

That is a good question Benn. In this photo you can see an oval shape beneath the pivot. That is the release and it is referred to as a trap door release. You simply depress one side of the trap door and it pivots upwards and releases the blade. It is a very smooth operation as you would expext from Jeff Harkins.

Unbelievable! I had kind of wondered what that oval area was but didnt really think it possible. You guys are probably used to that kind of stuff, but I am staggered by what must be minute tolerances involved. Blown away! Thanks for the reply!
