Nice little stag Italian toggle auto

Just three and a quarter inches, but very nice.

You have some of the nicest stuff. I enjoy looking at your pics. Thanks.

Nice. I sure like the looks of those lever autos. I think about getting a Leverletto now and again but it would end up just being an expensive letter-opener.

Italian? Looks like a German Hubertus, unless it's an Italian copy of a Hubertus.

PBob,

The Hubertus toggle/lever autos are stylistically different. A bit wider and typically a drop or clip point. You may be used to equating a lever with the Germans, but that type of lock is found in Italy and France and Spain as well.

Ah, molto bella! A very clean, classy, and compact design; really like the stag scales too!

Very, very nice... I've long been tempted every time I see a lever operated blade (particularly the German ones, with the wider handle and blade....). So far I've only admired them whenever one came around.

I had one in my property room long ago - and it was still there when I left Property to take up other duties in the early nineties (but I was definitely tempted....). Are these designs still being manufactured and offered? All of the ones I saw were very well made - but at least 30 or more years old (a guess on my part...). They looked to be from the fifties or sixties era...

There is a man who goes by Bill DeShivs who designed a lever lock knife called a Leverletto. They are sold on lots of sites. I've never owned one but they get good reviews from the knife affectionados.
