Monster Polish Movie Leverlock?

Post by TwoFlowersLuggage »

Here's what I hope is an interesting question: Can anyone ID the monster leverlock knife in this movie?

The movie is Knife in the Water, a 1963 psychothriller from Roman Polanski that was filmed in Poland.

That's a German Gravity Knife that slides out the front of the handle, not a lever lock.

I hope this helps.

It is very similar to a 1960's OTHELLO gravity knife, synthetic handles with the bail removed (9" OAL").
