Hello Everyone,
This is my first Springer. I really don’t know much about these knives.
This Springer was in need of a spring. It’s been repaired and it’s awesome! Thank you Jerry great job!
Most Springers I’ve seen have a spear type blade, how common are the clipped blade Springers? Also, this one has no tang stamp, how common are these unstamped Springers?
18 cm overall length, nickel silver bolsters, clipped blade, beautiful carved bone scales, blade sits deep and centered in the channel, snaps open with tight lockup.
Thank you for taking a look at my latest acquisition,
John

Ver nice John, I am a big fan of German leverlocks. Back around 2014 Ulf Ahlstrom (Desktop) published (in the old SD Newsletter) the best research on these knives that I have seen. Yours appears to be what he called a "Type I". He stated "...can only be found with stamps that relate to one major cutlery company beside the multitude of importer stamps; Wilhelm Weltersbach"
A photo of a knife with a blade like yours appears in the newsletter, and blades like yours are not the most common, but are not that uncommon.

Nice grab John. Really nice example. Cool blade and I like how slim it is.

Re: MY FRIST SPRINGER
Does anyone know when these were made? From the chromed bolsters and general style, my guess would be maybe 1980s....???
Re: MY FRIST SPRINGER
Great example for your first classic leverlock, John.
And yes, the models with a clip blade are far less common than those with a spear point blade.
