@ James .. price was 40 + shipping .. http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=1_373&products_id=2103
.. quality manufacture & components
.. easy straightforward assembly into a GREAT buttonlock
.. assembled buttonlock action smooth as Gerber PAUL knife
.. barely adequate auto can be had .. simply punch the 0.046” hole the rest of the way through with a carbide drill bit & add a std 3/8 coil spring .. reassemble .. carefully & loosely !!!!
The stack hgt of the spring is the issue .. proper automated functions require additional machining. Specifically, a 0.390” cavity (clearance on a 3/8 coil spring) needs to be machined into the spring side tang of the blade .. to accommodate the full 0.135” stack hgt.
