I would probably check if this one is actually legal to own in the UK. If it's assisted opening then it's destined for the bin asap. If not apologies I'll delete my reply

Can you link to the legislation for this John? I thought it had been suggested, but don't recall it getting enacted.

I don't mean the old stuff on automatics/switchblades, but rather the update to also cover assisteds.

To the OP, if it does have a spring and you're concerned about it, you can get easily remove them in most cases and reassemble without it. It can sometimes impact the blade action but not always.

Edit: Looks like they did update it, but it's classically wooly:

Offensive Weapons Act 2019

An Act to make provision for and in connection with offences relating to offensive weapons.

It doesn’t open on its own. It’s a manual opening as far as I can see.

The thump notch is used to manually open it.

Just double double checked you have to use the thumb button to open it. The knob on the side of the handle enables it to be closed but not locked into open position

With spring assisted it's not like an automatic, you use your thumb to open as normal and it has a bit of help to open it fully. You should be able to feel a little bit of resistance closing it if it's assisted

The models I've seen are assisted and thought I'd point it out in case you weren't aware they are illegal to own or sell now

No resistance it clicks into position but that’s it
