Just to clarify: these don’t have a TTO mechanism, but the head levers open with that tab along the spine?
That’s right. It work just like the 1912 and the top cap is held down by a buckling spring in the closed state. When you press down the little lever on the spine side of the top cap, the sitting resists until it buckling somewhere near mid opening and snaps open. Then you can change the blade, press down on the cap, and when the spring buckles back, it snaps shut. I’ll upload a video later today, because it’s easier to see than to read.
