‘AK47’RUSSIAN KNIFE CONVERSION. SORT OF

I have an old cheap Pakistani made folding knife. Wanted to give it a second life.
Found online interesting mechanism of single action side opening automatic knifes. It,s named AK 47 and purported to be built by Russian inmates.
There were multiple reiterations of it , including supposedly a version made by Ralph Turnbull( can,t swear for accuracy of the info)
I liked the idea of a simple compression spring operating the blade and back lock.
I even tried to give it the 3 d function- springing the release lever, but it,s too stiff for that- so my lever is not sprang.
I used a different release mechanism. Much simpler.
As usual the conditions of this exercise were the limits of hardware store materials and simplistic tools.
The knife is very simple to make and maintain. Only 2 bolts holding it together. Very ascetic, with sloppy tolerances, but solid enough. One day work. Never built knifes before.
It is Rough N Raw as my motorcycles. Bare bones ‘chopper’, no pun.
Thanks for viewing.
Special thanks to a Russian master who made a great version of the knife:

Зачетные ножики!

Мне тоже понравилось. Русский чувак делает и продает - я б купил, но похоже он в России…хер его знает какая логистика теперь?

Упс. Глянул в Казахстане.
