This knife is actually not sharp but despite there being no spring mechanism in it you are able to get the blade to retract as though it has been pulled into the handle by a spring (if you know the secret). Maybe more of a magic trick than a puzzle but thought some might be interested in it.

Roll Up! Roll Up! An interesting puzzle from Simon Bexfield; you've got to roll the ball to the top of the spiral ramp - but to do that, first you have to solve the puzzle on the bottom of the puzzle with the two turning disks. The disk movement is fairly rough, there's a good amount of friction there, but it is moveable with a bit of wiggling. Puzzle weighs 10.3 oz.

It looks like a standard dexterity puzzle, but it isn't. The object is to get the 3 black balls to one side and the 3 red balls to the other side, which of course is difficult or impossible since the balls from one side will move to the other side when you tilt the puzzle. However. there's a trick in the device. The black balls will stick to one of the two sides, after which you can tilt the puzzle the other way to get the red balls to the other side without the black balls moving. It's magic!I ...

Not really a "dexterity" puzzle, more of a "balance" puzzle. Designed by Oskar and Wayne Daniel, made by Wayne Daniel. I never solved this. It's an odd little bit of geometry (one piece) that you are supposed to hang off the edge of a table, selecting a side/position where it is certain not to fall off. It says it has 12 possible orientations, but only balances in one of them. "Oskars's original had 24 orientations, only one of which balanced, and was called 'Cliff Hangar'." He designed a later ...
