Hi Bill,
I keep seeing Leverlettos in some of the online auctions. I know there's some replicas out there. Is there an easy way to determine whether it's a real or whether it's a copy?
Thanks.
Jeff

Real Leverlettos never have a hex screw on the lever spring.
Just post pictures or links and I'll be happy yo validate them.

Re: Question for Bill DeShivs
There's one posted in the SD auction with a weak spring. It's been posted previously. Seems like a decent deal though I'm not sure about the weak spring. Here's the link: http://www.sharperdeals.net/index.php?m ... sold-as-is

Bladeplay has leverletto's at a decent price, unless you plan on fixing one.

Thanks Sammy!
I see that Mikov also has Leverletto kits on their site which are fairly reasonable. By the time I win the auction and pay the shipping I could probably by a new one that works perfectly from some other source.

prepare to fix more than the spring if you're talking about the one on talkblade... that snakewood has a 97.46% chance of cracking when you pull those pins out..sammy the blade wrote:unless you plan on fixing one.

Re: Question for Bill DeShivs
Just the bottom bolster pin needs to come out and the backspring can be pivoted out to pull the spring stub out.Luke_of_Mass wrote: prepare to fix more than the spring if you're talking about the one on talkblade... that snakewood has a 97.46% chance of cracking when you pull those pins out..
