Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
Yes, that is one way of describing it, not all gravity knives come out the front, a butterfly knife is a gravity knife and the blade comes out from the sidewhitebuffalo58 wrote:I know i'm probably gonna sound kinda dumb here, but is a gravity knife an OTF without a spring?

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
Ok, thanks MB. I kinda figured that's how they worked. Never really thought of a Butterfly as being a gravity knife, guess technically it would be though, huh? I'm curious though, I can pretty much tell how the blade stay's in the open position on the OTF version, but what holds it in the closed position?

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
Thanks guy's, its the one that got me started on switchblades...
Johnnie I have tried for years to date this one and haven't had much luck. I have always thought the 50's but it could be earlier.
Puma bought Koller after WW2, don't know if they continued to make knives with the Koller mark or not. Koller made knives for
the German army before and durring the war, most were fixed blades and camper style pocket knives. The only other stamp I
have seen has a eagle below the name, but have not been able to determine a time date for either one....

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
Just Pick up an Anton Winger Jr Othello folding knife. I have not been able to find another one like it without the cross guard.
From what I have read its early post war WW1 ? Any information would be helpful.

Matthew

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
It would be a safe bet to say it was made between WWI & WWII.
It is not a switchblade knife but rather a folding hunting knife.
