Mr. Bastard You are correct in your assumption. These knives are assembled from NOS parts. Not too many were done, and the parts are all gone, now. They are the product of Coltillerie Vernier. Lepre (rabbit) is their trademark. The knives are assembled by the son or grandson of the 1950s Vernier. Th...

Jimmyvern I think it's really good! Now for the constructive criticism- there was no need to taper the thickness of the scales, since you left the lever spring exposed. You could have thinned them all the way to the front bolsters. Unless, of course, you LIKE it that way. In that case, it's perfect!...

I have not read it, but it should be good. Jantz has others, also.

Why, sure!
I retired on the proceeds after it was introduced. ;^)
Actually, the Leverletto is a $150 retail knife, but was designed to sell for around half of that. The low retail price may have given it a "cheap, or inferior" image to those people who think that more expensive is always better.

That entirely depends on what the coin or medallion is made of. If the material is zinc (pot metal), soft lead solder won't even work. The zinc will melt first. If the material is brassw, bronze, nickel, silver, gold or similar metal with a high melting point, then true silver solder would be the be...

Cleaning and lubricating are two different things. WD 40 will displace any moisture in the knife, and leave some small degree of rust protection in places you can't get with other oils. Brake parts cleaner will clean, but it can dissolve plastic and glues. A WD 40 bath should be used after brake par...

OK- First look at some leverlock pictures on our host's sites, to get an idea of what the knife is supposed to look like. Rivet the lever spring and cover to the liner. Next, I need to know whether the scales (handles) have a hole in them for the backspring pin. If they do, then go ahead and rivet t...
