Re: Smith and Wesson leverlock

Terry - I remember seeing some photos of them years ago, that's all.

Re: ProTech Large Don tuxedo

Yes Terry, it has a very sharp tip. I like ProTech's mafia themed models, Godfather, Godson, Don, and all of mine arrived extremely sharp and pointy. Caution must be exercised when handling.

Re: ProTech Large Don tuxedo

Great to see you post, Sal, and you too Abe!

Allen has shared photos of some of his ProTechs. They are beyond amazing!

ProTech Large Don tuxedo

Finally found a ProTech Large Don with a plain stainless blade, a tuxedo model. Apparently, large Dons haven't been made for a while and as of earlier this year they weren't on the ProTech production schedule for 2024. It is large for a ProTech, just under 10 1/2 inches open. It is quite the wrist s...

Re: Boker Button Locks

I have a large TopLock with no nail nick, which I remember as being the exception.

One thing I don't have but would like is one of those keychain models like in the photo.

Re: Boker Button Locks

Do you mean the Top Locks and Speed Locks? If so, my understanding is that the Speed Locks were factory auto and the Top Locks were manual from the factory and then could be converted to auto. What I do know is that I bought a bunch of Top Locks, both sizes, with various colors of dyed bone and rubb...

Re: Forgotten auto

Like many of us, I purchased a number of Italian stilettos and German leverlocks from Stu back in the early 2000s, usually in quantities of 1 to 3 at a time. Sometimes he would just throw in one of the cheapies with my order. If they quit working, or never worked properly, I rationalized that they w...
