Well Chris, as Fernando points out, my thing is keris (no Nando, no folders there AFAIK

) and i don't really no much about these knives i've post. But i do have some serious Google skills.
According to what i have read from my research the Korn Patent knives were the first production auto-knives made in America, but it seems that in Europe they may have been in production as early as 1840.
