AIK Adams Intl Knifeworks/Mike Alsdorf ~ XQII ~ Xquisite II D/A ~® (Double Action) (Auto Operation or Manual Opening) Scale Release Auto with Textured Black Micarta & Malachite Stone Inlays

The XQ2 "Xquisite II" Double Action works Manually via the Dual Stainless Steel Thumb Studs or Automatically  via "Scale Release" . Sliding the handles to the side (right below the thumb stud), activates the automatic leaf spring operation. Same operation as the Lone Wolf Diablo Double Action which is now disct.

Totally discreet auto operation, no buttons or levers to fumble with. Rock Solid Locking Liner locks the blade up like a drum. Absolute lock up means this has the tightest lockup of any Double Action available; PLUS you have the perfect weight  and balance.

One of the few Double Action Liner Locks on the market. Designed by Mike Alsdorf (Winfield, MO) for AIK, the XQ2 features 410 Stainless Liners which are heat treated for strength and integrity..This limited series features Textured Black Micarta Handles with Malachite Stone  Inlays on both sides.

Similar in action to the now discontinued and hard to find Lone Wolf Scale Release Double Action models, (now disct), but at a much more reasonable price and a higher standard of quality. Higher Quality because it is entirely Handmade. You are basically getting a handmade auto at a factory price.
