Thanks man, is the absence of a hole in the tang a giveaway to being BO/BC?

For me the giveaways are the "Rostfrei" stamp combined with the distinct blade stop/back spring.

It has no broad lock head, so not a pick lock or swivel bolster. And there is no lock release anywhere in the spine of the handle like on a swing guard.

Thank, How come there's no seer hole in the blade?

Kris
There is a slot visible in the blade when partially opened ,it enables locking by a tab ,instead of the usual sear pin which engages in the hole in the blade of a usual suspect switchblade.
Hope this helps a bit.
