Nice knife.
Is it a OTF Knife? What is black on the blade?

It is a FIXED blade knife and the black "sheath" is controlled by the switch and it goes in and out to cover and uncover the blade...the Blade never moves....

Re: "Black Dagger" retracting guard knife
This is a legal knife where dagger blades aren't prohibited (a "novelty knife" at best.)

I have a green one that says " nato" on it. I bought it in TJ , years ago.

Re: "Black Dagger" retracting guard knife
Thank you Tom19176.
Interestingly've never seen a knife before. Who produced it? Or is it a product of China?

It predates the China cutlery invasion. I believe it was from Twain or possibly Korea.....
Re: "Black Dagger" retracting guard knife
If the blade is fixed does that mean it's also got a full tang? I would assume no as there needs to be room for the mechanism to retract the guard, but I'm still curious.
This is the magic incantation congress uses to constantly violate the 10th Amendment - "...the manufacture, sale, transportation, distribution, possession, or introduction into interstate commerce of such shall be prohibited"

Re: "Black Dagger" retracting guard knife
Tydy,
Thanks dude!
That was me that asked about the "Black Dagger" auto-retracting sheath. It was the first question I ever asked here; in fact, asking about that knife was the reason I sought out this forum. Here's the thread:
http://www.talkblade.info/viewtopic.php ... 28#p233428
I still think the one I saw was called "Black Magic" but what I saw was the knife in the OP, they probably just called it something slightly different. That one says 1986; the one I saw was around 89 or 90. Now that I know that some were called "Black Dagger", I'll probably have more luck searching for them.
Is that one your knife or a picture you found? Does anyone know how much those things are going for these days?
Wow, seeing this character again triggered the part of my brain that lights up when a childhood memory is refreshed. Not only could I remember that yearning to someday actually own an automatic knife but it's almost like for one instant I could actually smell the magazine in which I used to look at those knives.
Thanks again, man.
Btw, I am still trying to find one of those cheap Pakistani brass butterflies in the thread I linked to above.

Re: "Black Dagger" retracting guard knife
Also, does anyone know what the "GIC" on the tang indicates?
Re: "Black Dagger" retracting guard knife
Hello!
I am clearing out a family member's estate, and they have a variety of knives in their collection. In looking this knife up, which I have with the black handle with the case, your thread was the only reference to this knife on the internet.
I am looking for help in determining the knife's value, and suggestions on how to sell knives. I am not certain of the policies on eBay, some of the knife handles have what may be considered "brass knuckles" built into the handle, or a "bone crusher" points on the tip of the handle, and from what I am reading these are not able to be sold online. The main question is the value of this knife though, and thank you for your advice.

It's not worth much, and only as a curiosity.
