   I've seen a lot of different bolster type hidden release knives but no information at all on a knife
{ Refer to my question in Q+A }
   That specifically opens by pressing the blade down . Any info on any knife of this type would be appreciated . J D in Toledo

Pro-Tech makes a knife that sounds like what you describe:  the Ciabatta (http://protechknives.com/knives/switchblades/ciabatta-blackie-colli...)

They call it a spring assisted opening knife.  I think the mechanism is similar to the Imperial trick knives, but the blade springs open after you press the blade to disengage the hidden internal catch.  It also has a button type lock to hold it open.
