So, how do they work? I've always wanted to know, is it a coil spring or a cam and leaf spring? How about the triggering mechanism? Some Italian stilletoes have a little hole near the pivot, but not all automatics I've seen have this. And the saftey, usually a little slide button, it seems like it must slide over the tip of the blade to hold it down. There's a fair bit of mechanism in a small space.
