I saw this on FB. I never saw a one piece swing guard like this?

The Russians have had them for awhile. They've been on this Russian site for at least a year- https://www.knife-vorsma.ru .

Looks like the Amazon ones are coming from China. So I wonder if the Chinese are copying the Russians like they copy everyone else (they do copy Shirogorov).

I've never seen any of these knives advertised in the US before the Amazon listing.

Pics from that Russian site.

Surprised it’s on Amazon, didn’t think they sold auto’s.

I used to buy the Ganzo autos on Amazon and if you do some searching there you can find a few autos, must be the listing getting past the Amazon police.

The first switchblades I ever purchased I bought through Amazon (Ganzo).

Amazon used to actually sell switchblades. From what I see now they only ship a variety of cheap OTF's for other vendors. That means Amazon has switchblades in their warehouses.

There are other vendors selling switchblades on Amazon (like the "Finka's").

A lot of autos have been showing up for sale on Amazon in recent years. I saw these Russian swinguards along with those Mikov-style Chinese leverlocks the other day.

Checked it out on Amazon and country of origin is China, doesn't make it a bad knife and it's not overly expensive. Luck of the draw on some of the China knives.

I wonder if the above knives are a take on this .
It was advertised as a Russian swinger I saw it on German eBay supposedly made by Nazarov?

This looks a bit better quality with it's Damascus blade with blood groove ,or is this again a Chinese knife ?
