This one is going largely ignored on the auction.

It's difficult to go from a hell-of-a-snap to something that don't click but shut.

I have a few manuals in my collection. One of my favs is this 13" heavily built example with a 5mm thick blade. It also sports a button that does absolutely nothing. Fun to press, I guess. These were made after the '58 ban hoping that such knives would still sell. They didn't.

Great looking 13.
The manuals can be easily be as nice as the automatics. Just depends on how they've been treated or modified.
I've got two manuals both done by KillBucket as part of my Sauron Family.

I do think vintage manuals are appreciated. I have a few and plan to add more to my collection, however, unless in excellent, original condition, they are not going to bring big bucks. The ones I have I bought off ebay in the $25-$50 range.
