 Operates by pressing on the Diamond Shaped button. Features positive superfast automatic action via leaf spring. Unlike switchblades of Maniago, Sardinian knives from Sardinia do not have a safety, this is by design, as the Sardinian clan makes switchblades for self defense and believe a safety would slow the deployment. Features very fast auto action. Blade has some very slight up and down blade movement when open.

 This piece is new/mint and was purchased by special order direct from the maker.. Rare chance to own a custom handmade switchblade from Sardinia, Italy without the tariffs . Includes a custom zippered storage pouch.
