What the heck is this?
I vaguely remember seeing one in the 80s but think it was in a low-res B&W photo in a magazine. That is the extent of my recollection. Is it Chinese or Russian military in origin or commercial made to look militaryesque? I really don't know what I am looking at.

Bill, thank you. Now that I know what to call it, that led me right to this -Bill DeShivs wrote:Supposedly Chinese military/police knife.
As well as the later variant -
Telescoping blade that partially retracts into handle when cover is returned to closed position. That is pretty wacky.

I own it now and it is very cool. Definitely fills the "What is the weirdest knife you own?" slot.

Re: What the heck is this?
About 5 yrs. ago I bought 1 of these at a Gunshow for $20. The guy who sold it along with other items didn't know what is was nor did I. Found out later they seem to be worth $200-$250. if real, which fortunately mine is.
However many Fake ones were also made and sold by Atlanta Cutlery for about $8.00 in the early 80's and it sadly seems there are many more fakes than real ones in the States!
