Those are great pocket knives. This was their purpose when Colonial manufactured them. These were made during the post WW2 boom for men to carry in the front pocket of their slacks. Nothing devious or evil about them, just a pocket knife that opened with the press of a button. Closing it was just as simple. The times were far gentler than the lurid stories in the newspapers would have you believe. A straightforward product for use by a modern gentleman.
