You could try Mikov leverlock
Re: Russian auto knife makers
Mikov knives are so underrated. They're awesome and make very good working knives. They're sturdy well made knives I own a bunch of them.
I own two Russian made kniveS; they're very well made knives. 3knives had them. I got mine from Duncan aka HDC. I'll post photos of my RED knives asap.

Look at the posts by Michaelz, like this one viewtopic.php?f=14&t=23942&hilit=russian. Send him a message through this forum and you can be on the list when he sells a knife. He is excellent on customer service and shipping. Here are more of his previous sales. http://photos.switchbladeknife.info/Gal ... ry=4770715 Use "Full Screen" for the best image.
Re: Russian auto knife makers
Just a point of clarification; Mikov knives are made in Czech Republic, not Russia. I'm a fan.

Re: Russian auto knife makers
Russian switchblades are made in small quantities and sold at knife shows or online at domestic auctions\sites, just for example

Re: Russian auto knife makers
Don't be too hard on yourself; Czechoslovakia (Now Czech Republic, and Slovakia, respectively) was part of the Eastern Bloc, all under Russian control for most of the 20th century. From what I understand, some factions of the KGB carried Mikov knives; that said, I am not sure if this was standard issue in the Russian KGB, or the KGB factions of its satellites. These things are tough to pin down. Belarus does still have KGB, though.Vlad wrote:l just realized how stereotypical it was for me to associate " Mikov" with a Russian name :p
I just got my first Mikov after a lengthy career of exclusively collecting Italian spring steel only, and I must say I am very fond of the mechanics and the double-spring system kicks hard every time. Not only that but the springs are easily and cheaply replaceable, making me less worried about playing with it
