Rare TEKNA Micro Knife/USA features a Stainless Frame with a 2 1/4" 440-C Stainless Double Edged Serrated Blade.Button located at the base of the handle automatically retracts the sheath when pressed, exposing the D/E Blade. (Not an Auto Knife), as the blade is fixed.Only the sheath is retractable. Manually pull the plastic sheath back over the blade to re-set it. Overall lngth is 6". Hard piece to find now, as Tekna is no longer in business. 

The TEKNA microknife featured a double ground blade rigidly mounted in a brushed stainless steel body and protected by a retractable sheath. First produced in 1984, this handy pocket knife is still sought after by collectors and outdoor enthusiasts.

The release mechanism for the sheath utilized a pair of collapsing fingers attached to the end of a long slender beam. On the opposite end of this beam was the release button, which protruded from the top of the knife. By pressing on this button, the fingers would slide against a pair of small ramps, and the protruding lip on each finger (which acted as catches on the sheath) would slide free, releasing the sheath. Two small compression springs would drive the sheath to the open position. The concept was prototyped, tested, verified, and put into production
