The blade locks in place with a satisfying click every time, and the one-handed deployment takes barely any practice to get down. I've been flipping it open during breaks just to feel that gravity mechanism work—it's honestly a fun piece of history to handle.

The gravity mechanism is smooth as silk—one flick and the blade snaps out exactly like it should. Heft and balance feel right for a repro, and the locking action is solid enough for daily fidgeting without worry.

Got this for my collection and the gravity mechanism really does open with a satisfying flick of the wrist. The blade locks up solid with no wobble, which makes it feel sturdier than I expected for a reproduction. It's a neat piece of history to handle, even if I'll never jump out of a plane with it
