Is this the style you're talking about? I bought this and one with stag handles, out of Italy about 15 years ago. I wouldn't recommend taking that route though. I like to never got them and when I got the last one after six months of waiting, I swore I'd never do that again.

I didn't make the Leverletto in your picture, AKC did. I designed it.
Your pricing is very high.
