Re: Boker Button Locks

What I do know is that I bought a bunch of Top Locks, both sizes, with various colors of dyed bone and rubb...

Re: Forgotten auto
Like many of us, I purchased a number of Italian stilettos and German leverlocks from Stu back in the early 2000s, usually in quantities of 1 to 3 at a time. Sometimes he would just throw in one of the cheapies with my order. If they quit working, or never worked properly, I rationalized that they w...

Re: Boker Kalashnikov
Twobit - I don't carry the knife so I can't help assess whether there are pocket opening issues.

Re: Boker Kalashnikov
Terry,

Re: due buoi
Tom - if you are referring to the Due Buoi, it is hard to establish a value as it is not often they appear on the market. When they do, it comes down to the asking price and if there is a buyer with the "gottahaveits" My thinking is that 500 would be a speculators asking price. If you are referring ...

Re: due buoi
Allen - nice photos! Was the Atlanta show where you had to try several Due Buois the one where the US Due Buoi representative exhibited substandard behavior? Ian - those Due Buoi leverlocks are extremely hard to find on this side of the Atlantic as well. I made a huge blunder by not grabbing one dur...
