This is a factory second Aristocrat folding knife made in Seki, Japan circa 1980s. It features a stainless steel blade and handle with abalone inlays. This has a lockback lock with the lever that, if not broken, would lock the blade in place - so a double lockup. To release, you must fold the lever out of the blade and then push down/back to release the lockback mechanism.
