Hello Gav,
sorry for not showing You the picture I refer to but I have very little time at the moment.
Concerning slip joint, okay, let's call it simple back spring.
I have also a Albacete made Navaja with a simple back spring and no real locking system.
This back spring holds up on the handle which is made one-piece, so no second pin for the back spring.
Also this knife has a small hole where You thought a pin should be.
But when I look at the handle, this hole just goes through the hande but not through the back spring.
As I mentioned already the back spring only holds up against the handle.
Sory for not beeing able to go on with the discussion but I will be picked up now.
Best regards, Helge
