Hubertus
Hey tiny I would seriously reccomend getting some Hubertus knives up, I have my heart set on a Hubertus Mini Hunter right now, PVK has them for about $85.00 each, Maybe you could get em' for less.

Zack,
I have a few Hubertus. I like mine. I have handled one of the 8cm ones, if that is what you are referring to as a mini hunter, cute, but blade too small for me. I have one of the clip point 10cm ones, blade 3" I think, and I like that one. I also have quite a few 11 cm ones, including the multiblades.
All the Hubertus knives I have bought were terribly dull new, but were easy to keep and maintain an edge once you put one on.
A lot of times there is grit in the knife that will keep the tab you push from staying up against the bolster when folded. It will also stop your blade halfway. I think it is good to try to wash all that stuff out with WD 40 or something.
I have had a couple of defective ones that the tab wouldn't stay against the bolster even after the cleaning, but overall they are probably my favorite switchblades. The lockup is tight, especially considering they are kind of handmade.They are just really beautiful With the nickel silver bolsters, brass liners,and stag.
If you like your little one I would highly reccomend buying bigger ones.

Mr. Bonz,
The one I got from our mutual friend has a 2.5" blade. You'll have to forgive me here, because I'm not up on the nomencature. It was called a "Drop Point". Is that the same as a "Clip Point"? The other sixer he had was called a "Standard Blade" and didn't have bolsters on its butt. The overall quality of this little dude is amazing...
