There seems to be two models in stock right now. As far as I know bladehq is a safe place to buy.

Leverletto: Broken Spring

I've had this broken Leverletto for over a year now. The spring broke. I'm wondering if there is any way to get this fixed without going upside down. I paid about $100 for it, so it goes without saying I wouldn't want to pay more than half that to fix it. I am so bummed about this knife. I LOVED IT,...

Typhoon Spring Out of Spec

This has been bothering me for a while now, so I figured I'd ask about it here. A couple years ago I purchased two Typhoons, and one of them won't lock up and doesn't fire hard at all because the spring is way out of spec. I was wondering if it was possible to purchase a new spring, and if so, how m...

Re: Godson Spring Installation Problem

Photobuckets code must be incorrect. All I did was copy and paste their prepared code instead of manually doing it. I guess next time I'll just enter the code manually. Anywho, yeah, the part of the spring that enters the blade, was too long at first, which was what caused the 180 degree dig. I file...

Godson Spring Installation Problem

My Godson popped a spring, so I ordered one from PVK. It fits, but the part that goes into the blade was too long, and it wore a half-moon into the handle when I tried to open and close it. Not a huge deal, so I filed that piece of the spring down to match the old one (took for EVER), and it's STILL...

Nah. $100.00 is the going rate at most online stores. There is one store right now selling them for $87.00.

Re: Leverletto Broke?

Well I'll definitely be staying away from these in the future if I'm not able to fix it myself. I feel like I wasted $72. Seriously, what is a person to do when the spring breaks, just buy another unit? Pff.

Re: Leverletto Broke?

I got it from Stu711. I don't think he deals with parts. This is definitely the real deal leverletto. I trust Stu would never carry a clone without labeling it so. I'm wondering why the springs for this knife aren't readily available like the Mikov? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Leverletto Broke?

I've had this knife for a month, maybe less, and the leaf spring broke already. Please tell me this spring is replaceable. I've googled trying to find replacements but no love so far. Anyone know how I can fix this? And can someone tell me if this is a normal thing with leaf-spring powered auto's? I...

Re: My New Mikov

Well, it is actually a pretty tough coat whatever they used. The scratch is really not all that bad, I'm just anal about my toys. You're right though, I have to be prepared to see some blemishes on these. I have another Typhoon that is red and silver on the way, that will be the one that gets pamper...

Re: My New Mikov

Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! My Typhoon dropped out of my pocket while I was driving and hit some metal on my seatbelt linkage in between the seat and the console and got scratched!This is so terrible! Now I need to buy another Typhoon in Briar next month when I have funds to replace this one. :cry: I knew I ...

Re: My New Mikov

Thanks for the comments guys. The camera I'm using is a Konica Minolta Dimage G600 6.0 Megapixel. I also use Photoshop and Photomatix HDR for post editing, which adds that rich color and extra detail, it really makes the photo pop. Believe it or not, each picture of the knives is actually over ten s...

I guess everyone has their own taste ,but it will be a cold day in hades before you see me spending 70.00 bucks for a pen. :roll: +1 It's just not happening. I'd pay maybe $20 for that. Otherwise my $70 wil...

Re: My New Mikov

I had time to take a couple pics of the Typhoon. As I said before this knife is absolutely drop dead gorgeous and very heavy. This knife has my name written all over it. It's totally my cup of tea. It kicks like a mule and it was way bigger than I thought it was gonna be. It's also so sharp I can sh...
