Another Otter-Hubertus
I got another Otter-Hubertus in the mail today and this is the large one with clip-point blade which I did not have. The only disappointing thing is the lever is flush with the front bolster which makes it harder to flip up. I have a couple of 1950s knives that have this issue was well. Overall, the quality of these new knives is good and I will probably add another medium sized to my collection at some point. I have four of these now and the small and medium are in my EDC rotation. The newest one I got from Perry Knife Works which has the lowest prices I have seen recently.

Hi Matt,
Very cool set. The stag looks really good. Are the other two ebony? I don’t know which blade style I like more. I think I’d like the middle size for an EDC.

Grind/file an angle on the tip of the lever.
I have put new levers on several of these lately.

Re: Another Otter-Hubertus
Matt - those look very nice, I have been happy with mine. It seems that Otter is taking quality seriously. Tanks for the tip about Perry.

Re: Another Otter-Hubertus
The quality control seems to be better than many of the older knives other than the lever issue with my newest one. Someone in a Facebook group said his has the same problem. I'm just glad to see these becoming plentiful in the U.S. and there are several online dealers who have them. I hope Otter makes the slimline Hubertus again. I was pleased with Perry Knife Works. I ordered it Sunday night and got it Thursday afternoon and there was no charge for shipping.

Jason Perry attends the Mystic show and is a member of the Northeast Cutlery Collectors. He is one the the most honest and best dealer around these days. Nice guy and stands behind his products.

Re: Another Otter-Hubertus
The other two are ebony. The middle size is great for EDC and I also like the small one. If you don't have one, you should consider getting one and Perry Knife Works is located in Massachusetts.

Re: Another Otter-Hubertus
Probably was a weird question but over the years about half the Hubertus knives I have bought came with the green and white boxes and some were just in a plastic sleeve. I was just curious if Otter was doing anything different.

Re: Another Otter-Hubertus
Not my picture but this is what all of the boxes look like. Until Otter, I never got a box with a Hubertus and I have two I bought in Germany.whippersnapper wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2023 1:51 amProbably was a weird question but over the years about half the Hubertus knives I have bought came with the green and white boxes and some were just in a plastic sleeve.
