Kershaw 2100 Rotary

[shakeylegs]

Is anyone familiar with this Kershaw folder?

The only description I can find is:"This rare rotary lock folder was discontinued in 1985. Scales are Thailand water buffalo bone. Opens and closes without touching the blade."
Any additional info would be welcome.
Thanks

This is onyl a guess, but it appears as if the way to open the blade is to rotate the oversized pivot screw...that plate might rotate alogn with the blade, so you use that in a clockwise fashion to open the blade, the a counterclockwise motion to close, not sure if it locks in anyw ay though...interesting knife, keep in midn, this is 100% my guess, no facts, just assumption...

I have one new in box,the wheel to open and close is the same on both sides of knife.Open by grabing knife wheel with thumb and index finger and turn till blade opens and locks in place.Same to unlock and close,its quite smooth and easy.About 3in. closed.Hope that helps.
