Help?? How the heck do I close this knife??
on: May 05, 2011, 05:01:41 PM
 :ahhh
I opened this about 3 months ago and have yet to figure out how to close it! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Finally caved in and figured I'd ask for help. :think:
Also, anyone know about this knife?
Thanks!

It's a Kudu / Okapi - there should be a ring through that top eye which you pull upwards

Nothing better than a good video!

I love these kind of knife. In France, Mongin is a famous knife maker using that kind of lock.

Hi,

looong time ago, you asked for prices on Jacques Mongin knives. Here is another site with prices, in euros (www.xe.com will help)
http://www.boutique-armureriejeannot.com/achat/arme-jacques-mongin-89.html

These knives are pretty expensive, so here you have a good idea of how much money you will spend.

Hope this helps.

edit: if anybody needs help with french, PM me, it will be my pleasure to help  :salute:
