It was made in Taiwan. There were many of those around in the 1990s. I had one just like it but with different colored scales I got from a guy who bought it in Mexico circa 1992-1993.

I find that interesting as well and if any make it to U.S. dealers, I would consider buying one.

If a switchblade enthusiast had written The Outsiders, I imagine the descriptions would be like this: "Two Bit carried an 11-inch Italian stiletto switchblade. The tang of his knife was stamped Latama, and Two Bit became fascinated with the Italian stiletto after seeing Rebel without a Cause when he...

I doubt Hinton knew much, if anything, about switchblades and she may not have ever even seen one other than in movies. As far as the shell puller in the movie, that was probably just random and was the knife that someone in the prop department found.

I recommend the Microtech UTX-85. It's the perfect size for EDC although I also like the UTX-70 which is a great little "office knife." I've thought about getting a Kershaw Livewire, but just can't justify it right now.

You did very well and I believe R. J. Richter was a Massachusetts importer so your knife was made in the 1950s.

Wow! They are all great but I especially like the IMCO because the 28 cm with bayonet blade is my favorite picklock.

Nice knives Tom! I've wanted one of the Hubertus large lockbacks.

Do those come with in a box? Yes, all of mine have boxes. Probably was a weird question but over the years about half the Hubertus knives I have bought came with the green and white boxes and some were just in a plastic sleeve. I was just curious if Otter was doing anything different. Not my pictur...

Hi Matt, Very cool set. The stag looks really good. Are the other two ebony? I don’t know which blade style I like more. I think I’d like the middle size for an EDC. 👍 The other two are ebony. The middle size is great for EDC and I also like the small one. If you don't have one, you should consider...

Matt - those look very nice, I have been happy with mine. It seems that Otter is taking quality seriously. Tanks for the tip about Perry. Jim The quality control seems to be better than many of the older knives other than the lever issue with my newest one. Someone in a Facebook group said his has ...

I got another Otter-Hubertus in the mail today and this is the large one with clip-point blade which I did not have. The only disappointing thing is the lever is flush with the front bolster which makes it harder to flip up. I have a couple of 1950s knives that have this issue was well. Overall, the...

I've considered one of those and it looks like it would be a good utility EDC knife you would not worry about. I like that it has a safety which unfortunately, many American autos don't.
