I call them The Three Sisters. Purchased these from fellow forum member Roccomo. Fast delivery and as advertised. I really like these three knives. They will not be put up for adoption.
I'm just waiting for the pins which will hopefully be delivered tomorrow. I really like these 3 knives. Too bad they are no longer made.
OAL 8" with blade length 3 3/8". Italy Stainless stamped on one side of the tang and Edgeco on the other side. The pearlex scales are really nice. The photos don't do them justice. Someday I have to buy a new camera.
Here's Roccomo's description of the knives:
"These are original, unopened Leverlock kits from the Edge Company circa 1988. I have three available, white, blue and green. I got them new 23 years ago and never built them. They actually are a great knife once put together...very similar to the current day Italian levers but with an excellent clip blade in them. Kits include the knife with blade factory installed, spring, male/female pin and instruction sheet for easy assembly."

Thanks Vike. I really like the green too. I'm not a big fan of the colour(or) green but the green is my favourite too. I wish I could get more of these knives. I thought they would be smaller than they actually are. Really feel good in the hand and have a nice weight to them. I should have taken a pic of the thickness of the scales. Very substantial. They are definitely keepers. I'm now turned on to leverlocks.
It's funny, when I was alot younger looking through the edgeco catalogs, I barely paid any attention to the leverlocks...I was only interested in the stilettos and OTF's. Now I would much rather have a leverlock.

That's probably the case with many collectors,I know it is for me. I really like the heft of a nice lever,even my smaller Hubies have a hefty,solid feel.
I have said this before but I still wish Hubertus made a Guardian with at least a full one inch longer blade.
When the Guardian is closed it feels like a solid piece of steel. One of the best levers still being made today.
Having the Edge Co stamp makes these very desirable.

Any idea what one of these would be worth? Just curious. Maybe this isn't the place to ask a question like this and if so tell me and I will delete the post.

I don't see any problem with asking that question here.
However I'm no expert on pricing out-of-production knives but there are quite a few here that may be able to help you out.
Again I don't know much about these but my guess is that there is a collector out there that would love to buy all three.
Having the removable springs is a big plus.
I have never owned one of those but remember them well from an Edge Co. catalog I received in the late 1980s. I still have the catalog somewhere. I probably would have bought one one of those knives if I had not already owned a Hubertus and a Boker lever lock.

Thanks Lars. I was glad they had clip points when I opened the package. It's hard to believe that these 3 knives are at least 23 years old. Previous owner had never opened the sealed bags they came in.
Love the green. Very collectible trio there.
