Unique and weird opening mechanisms

That Snap Fire was sorta the inspiration for this thread I was dreaming up a design (not that I could make it, just wondering if it existed), & this is it.
I saw the thread you bought it on Tiguy, can you say anything about how you like it?
I don't generally like any serrations, but I do like the ano titanium!
Let us know how the steel holds an edge (the kind of steel isn't as important IMO as the particular heat treatment and grind it gets), and if you saw a range of prices while looking for one or if it was an impulse buy.
Thanks for sharing, this is exactly the way I imagined it!
 
The Snap-fire is cool, but it definitely takes some practice to get the hang of kinda "front flicking" it out. The Snap-Lock is way more fun to fidget with...they're (CRKT) all AUS8 at best with a garbage heat treat and a beadblast finish that's very corrosion prone for a stainless:( But hey, they're fully functional examples of nifty mechanisms so they have a place in my collection:)

It was an impulse buy. I don’t use it because the blade is too short. It can be a conversation starter though or fidget toy.
 
Wildsteer or Wild Street (depending on who did the translating from Cyrillic) has some crazy 1980's "Transformers" vibes going on.
They use N690 which is high hardness stainless. Similar to VG-10, but usually gets a better heat treat because VG-10 seems to go into a lot of mid-tech Japanese kitchen knives.
Here’s a review of them. Not cheap but I like the idea of the folding machete for a bug out bag.

Isn't Wild Steer French?

Nothing weird about that Wildsteer knife. Folding bowies have been around for 100 years or so.
The rest of the knives in that video seem to be Chinese junk.....
