"Mongoose"

The primary aim of such knife is to serve as an effective means of self-defense, especially in the constrained conditions, for example, inside the lifts or vehicles. The knife is designed for constant carrying, therefore is small and light. Design feature of the "Mongoose" is the special gadget for knife opening by one hand, made as a hook. Such design allows to open a knife as in the usual way (a finger of one hand), and in accelerated one, by combining the opening of a knife with its simultaneous taking out from a pocket. On the parameter of speed of opening "Mongoose" stands at the same level with automatic knifes, considerably surpassing them on reliability.
