I just thought of something. Have you tried pinning the blade and bolsters in place? Maybe that’s a step that needs done first in order for the spring to work. I know the directions say to insert the spring first, but to me it seems like that step should come last. I’m just thinking maybe there’s no...

How exactly is the spring not fitting? Is it too big for this particular model of knife? Have you tried inserting it and finding something to hold it in place while you hammer the pin down? Maybe you could demonstrate to us what it’s getting hung up on.

Wow! That’s a big one! This was obviously before Germany changed the law limiting autos to 3 and a quarter inches (I think that’s the blade requirement).

I would love to get a Latama, but the highest I’m willing to go on a knife is $250 and I can never find any that are in my price range.

Glad the trade worked out! That’s a really nice shell puller!

There’s a stiletto in 1982’s Fighting Back. Gets pulled during a fight scene. There is also a stiletto in a fight scene in 1980’s The Ninth Configuration.

This one is a Valor import. Made in Japan. Have any of you seen this one before? I thought it looked quite unique with those guards. I call them “ninja guards.” LOL! I picked it up for $74 at a flea market.

Pretty freakin cool box there! I see some Italians, some manual folders, a Super Automatic OTF, a Mikov, what appears to be a Dual Speed two blade Chinese Mikov-style leverlock, and it looks like there may be a Lightning OTF in there as well.

Nice collection and display! On the bottom shelf I see a knuckle duster folding lock blade exactly like one my older brother has had since I was ten or so. Also a small Bowie from, perhaps, Imperial? I have one just like it and a very similar one from Utica. Lots of balisongs! I believe that bowie ...

I like that Damascus one. Any guess how old it is? I need to find me something with a Damascus blade. Thanks for sharing The Damascus one is from Rite Edge. That’s what it says on the carry pouch snap button. I think it’s a fairly new knife. Rite Edge imports a lot of Damascus knives from Pakistan.

Mario Any chance you could show a clearer picture of the Taiwanese paratooper knife and that Damascus leverlock ,out of the case Never seen them before and they look interesting . gravknife Here are a couple older vids of me opening them. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/FMrK4Smq50A https://m.youtube.c...

There are 3 in the center of this picture.

Bill, those are Bonsa leverlocks with the aluminum handles in your drawer, right? Were those made in Germany?

Picked this up about a month ago and can't complain for what I got with the price tag even though I found it cheaper elsewhere it could be I got lucky and got a good one IDK. Snaps with authority. Locks up tight with zero play in the blade. The guard has minimal movement. It's got heft, seems prett...

Whats the shellpuller with humpback and flat button? Is it a custom piece?

Yes, that’s a customized AGA Campolin Calibro.
