Does anybody know this knife/maker? Sorry for no 'before' pic, but; ya know...I'm pretty sure this was a side-of-the-road find that a friend left behind when he moved away. It was way rustier & immobile, so I sprayed it with P-Blaster & brake-cleaner and got it moving but very stiff and not locking . Next step:dis-assembly! Seems to have been contaminated with epoxy and the hard plastic bushings are all crusty and brittle. May have lost a detent bearing while taking it apart (something small 'sproinged' off my cheek & vanished). Seems like a well-made knife: good steel, heavy-duty 'Chicago'-style pivot pin, swaged in on the female side, with this odd 4-half-circle head I've not before encountered, scales are probably aluminum, little lever I can't figure out, spring-loaded push-button lock (epoxied in place--hammer-time!) Any info would be helpful!

I stuck it back together without the broken bushings, & and the 'assisted-opening' spring is busted, but it locks closed & locks open. The little lever acts as a lock for the push-button blade lock--kinda fun! I don't think it's chinesium; it feels better-made than that.

>>65058452Looks like one of these dime a dozen generic Chink knives that flooded the market when the market with EDC folders exploded.They made a million of permutations of these with all kinds of bells and whistles.
