Click on linder.de these are in the "Made FOR Linder Worldwide" section :!:
If you buy a "Creftsman" tool, you have no idea who made it but if you put it on auction you sell it as a "Craftsman".
What REALLY annoys me is when someone sells these as Linders and brags about the "German quality and precision" :x They ARE Linders [German law REQUIRES an importer to put his name on them] but they are NOT GERMAN Linders :idea: The Leverlockseems to have an Italian accent :wink: [I have one or two and I've never heard them say a word of German :lol: ]

Thanx to the info from Mr. Vagrant , I've learned that this knife isn't made by
Linder ,but made for Linder.

I've seen em listed on G.B. and other auctions ,and always liked the style.
Has anyone ever owned one ??
just curious about the quality .

Anyone with a "room temperture" I.Q. can read the LINDER website and tell which lnives are from Solingen [Germany] and which are from "somewhere else" :idea: Linder will NOT ship switchblades to the U.S. :( So any of them come from another source [wich may not stress which is which] :roll:

The buck clones are pretty nice for the money, I was getting them for $30
And the only real difference is the blades are thinner than a real buck.
They are also a switch only, You have to push the button to open them.

The real buck conversions have been known to bust springs, If you open manually, then accidently hit the button.

The copy knives are good EDC knives for the money....
