Handmade leverlock

Post by wild zebra »

I made this last year, but had the ole lady take some pics recently so thought I'd repost. This was my first made from scratch knife. I am in the middle of a press button for my second knife. Enjoy

Very nice knife, sir. I especially like the blade grind. Very clean execution-fit and finish look as good as anything I've seen from Over Thar.
For me personally, this style of knife has a charm going back to the pocket knives I was raised on-practical and workmanlike.
They just happen to have that neat lever-thingy on the front. :o :lol:

Looks to me like you are a natural Mr. Zebra. You did a superb job,I especially like your bolster design. The knife looks like an old world German lever but proudly made in the USA 8)
Very well done !

So you made this from scratch. I hope you realize how talented you are. If''n I tried that it would be a total cluster. I can think of several designs that wouldn't be nearly so difficult. You da man. I really like that knife.
