This small single blade knife can be very frustrating to open.

Is there some hidden message here, because there's no way that someone has had experience opening every small knife, with one blade, ever made lol.

It's not a nail breaker if it has what you mean.

It's a knife that's fun to watch a non knife person try to open.

Well, for me, that would be a russ lock, a balisong, or a traditional auto... those take a bit of figuring out if you didn't know anything about them.

This knife is this way on purpose.

Opinel?

 

[r8shell]

Even more frustrating to close.

A "magic" knife.

You have to hold it blade up and push the blade in to open, and blade down to close.

Yep you got it 👍
I was thinking of the imperial trick knife.

Your turn.

My "turn"

Another knife with an unusual opening mechanism.
Designed to save your manicure, it has no nail nick.

It's gotta either be A gravity knife , or a Christy knife.
( I'm pretty sure the one hand jack has a nail nick )

No. The knife I'm thinking of has a mechanism on the outside or the handle.

 

[Hickory n steel]

Well the only other knife I can think of is the he leverlock.
But I'm not sure if a leverlock has a nail nick, or of any with the mechanism on the handle.

You turn something to open the blade.

Is it that gentleman's folder with that round bolster that you press and turn it to open the blade?
There's a benchmade one, and there was a Gerber one.
I believe it's the Paul axial knife.

I'm sorry, Hickory, these are all good guesses. There are so many types of tricky-opening knives that I wasn't thinking of!

An example of this type by Canal Cutlery was the BF traditional forum knife about ten years ago.

One-arm.

R8shell, come up with another, I am at work and don't have the time to attend to this.

 

[redsparrow]

r8shell, are they called ring knives?

Sorry. The hints I think are hard, folks get right away, and the ones I think might be too easy, turn out to be stumpers.

Close enough! You're up next, redsparrow.

Here's a picture:

Ring opener penknife

Dang it, I see this example does have a nail nick, but the idea is to use the ring to pivot the blade.
