Got this little 7.25" leverlock, Pastor Aleman stamp front, stainless steel stamp back. Appears nickel silver bolsters, steel liners. We've seen the Pastor Aleman stamp on a limited amount of the Japanese "Rizzy" knives. Safe to assume this leverlock is Japanese made as well? Maybe another Mexican Tourist knife?

As collectors, isn't it great to acquire the unique oddball examples? Thanks for sharing.

Re: Pastor Aleman
Yes. It's the same basic pattern as the bull fighter knives, only nicer.

Re: Pastor Aleman
Very nice one. I was always on the fence it these were from Korea ( Bell Metal) of Japan. but in looking at yours, I agree japan.
Re: Pastor Aleman
I have Pastor Aleman ("German Shepherd") on the tang of a 9" Rizzuto, with a little dog's head above it.
I figured it was a contract knife, sourced from the same Japanese company that sent tons of Rizzuto's through Tijuana.
Construction and condition is ten times better than any Rizzuto I've ever owned.

Re: Pastor Aleman
I just got informed on Facebook, where everyone is an expert, that this/these knives are "100% German" I got to tell you, Facebook can be an amazing place for bad info. and arguments! Sure makes it difficult to learn.
