An adorable little puzzle from yesteryear! Personally, I don't like the term "Trick" applied to puzzles. Here's a dictionary definition: Trick: A cunning act or scheme intended to deceive or outwit someone. "he's a double-dealer capable of any mean trick". Surely a clever puzzle with a great mechanism deserves better than that. The penknife has a safety feature, locking it closed. Maybe it should be called "Locked Knife" ?
