I've considered one of those and it looks like it would be a good utility EDC knife you would not worry about. I like that it has a safety which unfortunately, many American autos don't.

I have one like the one in the original post. Does anyone know when these were made?

Probably around 2010. Someone else will have to give you value. I'm not a dealer. It's older than that. I have two Bokers I bought new in Germany. The first one was in 1986 and has the shiny blade and the second one I bought in 1991 has the frosted blade. I would guess his was made in the early to ...

Yes, the levers do look larger. I just looked the 11cm stag one I bought a few months ago and the lever is the same size as those on my older 11s. Of course, my new model lever does differ in that it is solid. Jim I can't say for sure but I think it is just the photos which I cropped that make the ...

Not my knives or pictures but I am pleased to see Otter has added bone handles to the Hubertus springers. I am really wanting one in the white bone. These are the only old-style switchblades I am aware of that are comparable in quality to the ones made in the 1950s. I just wish they would make them ...

Nice and that seems like a difficult size to find. I also like the 16 cm stilettos which for me would be great for EDC if I were going to carry a stiletto. I don't think anyone is making those sizes anymore.

21.jpg 22.jpg 23.jpg 24.jpg 25.jpg The movie has some great shots of the picklock which gets broken at the bayonet point when another character stabs it into a desk. The film makers must have broken the blade and glued or soldered the point back on because I doubt the blade would snap that easily. ...

Here are some screenshots from 12 Angry Men.

As a follow up to my Rebel Without a Cause post, here's a shot of Blackboard Jungle. If you're a fan of 28 cm picklocks, you won't find a better scene than this other than 12 Angry Men which has a 28 cm picklock with kris blade.

Here's another shot right after he fires it.

I have seen an Italian picklock with white plastic scales, so it's possible. It's also possible they just painted it white for effect. A couple of shots of the white knife look like it's a square button knife-others make me sure it's not. That's the best theory I have heard. As many of these knives...

Real picklocks were used for the fight scene. I'm not saying it isn't horn but I have never seen horn that is that bright of a white color. I know horn can age but the examples I have seen were more of an off-white/tan color. I don't think they were originally bright, solid white. I've never owned o...

Buzz's picklock has solid white scales on both sides. I've never seen a 1950s stiletto that has solid white handles. Has anyone else? Too bad it's not possible to get a close up of the tang stamp.

That's really nice! I had an 11-inch BV&F that I sold when it got to the point I had bought too many knives.

Nice and I agree with your review. I have one just like yours and also the small and medium sizes. I think my medium one is a transitional because although it has a slip in spring, it's not firmly in place like the others and has been sliding forward. Overall, the fit and finish of the Otters is bet...
