DDR Autos

[mndart]

Here are a few DDR autos. Some rather old, a couple new from Darrel in 2010. The Apogees are D/A's

Apogees, 1 fancy, 1 plainish.

:eek: Very nice mndart!! That Apogee is a great model. Scale release?

[mndart]

Illusion release, the release looks like hardware. Compare the back of this manual release below to the two above with the illusion release.

Lot's O color in those handles, are those super smooth when the blade is deployed?

Deffinately like the Manual look, as hide the "auto" is popular in so many areas..

Great old school and new from a really good maker.
Thanks for sharing.

I picked up another Apogee recently. Darrel said there were very few damascus blades Apogees made, so I am glad to have received this.

Here's a new DDR auto. It is the HTM Gunhammer 2. The release has a built in safety. you must push it forward and down to release the blade.
