I have one just like it, except considerably less nice, I purchased simply because I like the external spring design and thought it would be something neat to try. It is almost a cross-breed between a friction folder and a slip-joint. The 'spring' is, well, a piece of spring tempered steel. Given that it does not have to flex very far, I don't think it would bend unless misused.
