Here is a description I found on this knife. From the Capo Knife Works in Novgorod, Russia comes the best example of Russian automatic knife making yet. The Ladya is made of the best materials that they have available. This automatic knife is a lever lock design with an overall length of 8-1/8" and a blade length 3-3/8". It features a stainless steel hollow ground blade which is razor sharp and with a hardness of HRC 58-64. The Russian, Dagestan Oak handle is of a unique design that enhances the grip. The bolsters and lever are of stainless steel. The blade is etched with the Capo logo. The Russians have traditionally manufactured their products to be utilitarian, so the great snap, tight lock up and lack of blade wobble should come as no surprise. This knife is basically the same knife that is issued to the Russian Spetnaz (Special Forces)
NOTE: These knives are very tight. The spring is very strong. It requires that some force be exerted on the lever to open the blade and also to close the blade against the spring. The knife's action is stronger than the Mikov and the Microtech. This is not the typical lever lock that you may be used to. Wimps will be disappointed.
I can confirm this is a stout knife as described above, especially the effort required to close. Ive had this one for a few years. There is some light spotting on the mark side of the blade that I tried to show in the pictures. I do not have any paperwork or sheath for this one. It has not been used by me except to fire from time to time and has been stored with blade open to reduce stress on the spring.
Asking $150 including shipping. Know your local laws related to owning autos. Will ship this by PRIORITY MAIL to U.S. addresses only. First Ill take it followed by PM or e-mail.
I know these pictures are less than ideal, so I can e-mail them direct if requested and you provide the e-mail address.
