Well that explains it There's a sucker born every minute. I don't mind a company doing what they have to do to make money. I just don't think they should hide the fact that it's made in China Now that will be my last Linder because I won't want to chance it
Click on the link below and scroll down a few inches. A similar knife is being sold at High Desert for 5x more than my wife paid for ours. The grind is different and the button looks flush. I wonder where it was made? My guess would be China as well

Hell...look at the new Kissing Cranes and Hen & Roosters.

here's a gravity, an otf and a lverlock.

Here is a Klaas that fires hard and locks up tight, but the lever is hard to push.

I have flushed it with WD40 and oiled it, that helped some. Any thoughts on making it

work easier??


Tim

Tim...I can't help ya with the lever ..but She sure is a pretty thing.

Thanks Johnnie

If you can get some lithium automotive grease down into the sear hole, it will help a lot. Open the blade to half way. The hole in the blade should become partially visible. Use a toothpick to shove some grease in the hole.

Thank you for the tip Bill, i will try that.



Tim

I did try your suggestion Bill and it works much better Thank you

I took this photo after working the knife several times( 20 or so), as you can see there is still quite a bit of grease in the hole.

I also didn't realize the knife was double stamped until i enlarged the photo

Click to enlarge....

Thought I would throw my old German Henckels in to show everyone.
Lokks somewhat like the one Jonnnie showed.
This one has great stag handles and I feel itis in great shape.
I am thinking the Henckels are one of the Higher end switchblades, just my opinion.
I guess I do not know what one of these would bring nowdays but I think that
are hard to find.
Hope everyone enjous seeing this one. Not the best pictures but hope OK

That Henckels a beauty thanks for sharing it

this knife has "guardian" reverse etched on the front of the blade and "Germany" on the back tang.

A bit tortured but still worthy it has a diferrent stamp than that nice one Hawk posted up a couple frames ? mine doesn`t say "solingen " on it . Hmmmmm... maybe one is older , This one has a #4 on the release lever.

wiseguy - I LOVE that knife!! Can only dream about finding anything remotely as cool as that.....

IM

I`ll second that

I don`t see many old Henckel`s like that one around

Here is one I picked up.............

Nice one MB ...... ya dont see those everyday does it have a makers mark on it ?

The tang on the blade is stamped "Solingen" nothing else, I would like to know who made it, any ideas?

Anton Wingen is the probable maker.

Thanks Bill
