Otter-Hubertus springers

Post by Panzerfaust »

These are my Otter-made Hubertus springers. I have heard complaints about these knives, mostly about the early production models, but having owned a Hubertus lever-lock since 1985, these are comparable in quality and the fit and finish is better than on many of the late-production Hubertus knives I have seen. All three of these are in my EDC rotation.

I like the larger top one. I had heard about issues at first too. Never handled one yet.

I am pleased with them. I wish they would put the hole back on the lever because that's the way they were previously made but I can live with it. The big question is how long will the kick springs last? I especially like the Lilliput for EDC and Folgore has them with wooden scales for $125. If I didn't already have one with stag scales, I would buy one.

Do yours have slip-in kicksprings?

Yes, and hopefully better made than on the previous Hubertus knives but only time will tell!
