Newbie here
Hello, I just joined the forum.
I live in Arizona and I collect, among other things, lever-lock auto knives. Not a big collector, but a collector nonetheless.

Re: Newbie here
Welcome, leverlocks are great
Re: Newbie here
By the way, is there anyone in AZ. who can fix a Bonsa lever-lock? (The job will be all the more trickier since the handles are pearl and therefore fragile). It needs the front axis pin tightened and at least one scale pin replaced. It's an 11cm. (The guy who previously owned it obviously stored it closed, and years of torque while sitting in a drawer took its toll).

Send an email to Bill DeShivs who posted above. To say he's "fond of lever locks" is putting it mildly. He's not in AZ but I think it would be worth your while to get his opinion on your knife.

Re: Newbie here
5 or 6 bucks to mail it to Bill for your repair. An old Bonsa would be well worth the repair fee and it would look better than it did new.
