List of all Blade Opening Systems
I've attempted to list all the different kinds of opening systems and methods in use for folding knives today. If I've missed one, please feel free to contact me.
I've seperated this section into three categories: Manual Opening Methods, Assisted Opening Systems, and Automatic Opening Systems. I think this better classifies the different types of folding knife opening systems available on the market.
