According to the photos, his knive folds, not retracts. The blade is simply much longer than the handle, so when folded, it exposes less of the blade.

I'm not clear on what the practical use of this feature would be.

You are correct, I missed a photo. At my age it's a curse being deaf and dumb in both eyes.
