Switchblade Knives - Automatic Knives - Springers
"Springer" is the traditional German term for pocket knives with a blade springing out of the knife's handle into the opened position by pressing down the folding lever.
The lever combines the features of safety and release: it locks the blade in 'safety position' while the lever is being placed towards the top end of the handle and it releases the blade to fly out open while the lever is folded in backword 'unsafe' position; the release for closing the open locked blade works in reverse order.
