Re: Flea market catch

BTW I got another knife I don't know how to identify, the seller told me it's RPK, but I saw only couple of RPK gun letter openers and the construction and quality was different. No stamps on the blade. I'll order modern italian version if I find it here.

Re: Flea market catch

Finally that inox leverlock has arrived. It's a good catch for 19 bucks, but I have a strange feeling about it

Thanks, not many people know the Hubertus brand here in Russia, do prices usually extremely high or extremely low. This one is mid range

Thanks, yes, the scales are bone. Box was from pen, but fits the knife perfectly

Re: Flea market catch

Visited knife show today, added Hubertus to my collection. Not a bargain, like at flea markets, 135$ but a nice catch anyway

Knife identification

Hi, gents, and forum Admins, maybe its good to create a separate thread for those, who wants to identify a switchblade? And post all pictures and similar questions there.

Re: Flea market catch

Very nice catch on your new knives! The last one with the big guard, I have never seen before and it looks very nice! Do you mean the guard folds as well? Can you post a picture of it closed?
