Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
Well that explains it There's a sucker born every minute. I don't mind a company doing what they have to do to make money. I just don't think they should hide the fact that it's made in China Now that will be my last Linder because I won't want to chance itBill DeShivs wrote:SOLD by Linder. Made in China.
Click on the link below and scroll down a few inches. A similar knife is being sold at High Desert for 5x more than my wife paid for ours. The grind is different and the button looks flush. I wonder where it was made? My guess would be China as well

Here is a Klaas that fires hard and locks up tight, but the lever is hard to push.
I have flushed it with WD40 and oiled it, that helped some. Any thoughts on making it
work easier??

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
If you can get some lithium automotive grease down into the sear hole, it will help a lot. Open the blade to half way. The hole in the blade should become partially visible. Use a toothpick to shove some grease in the hole.

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
I did try your suggestion Bill and it works much better Thank you
I took this photo after working the knife several times( 20 or so), as you can see there is still quite a bit of grease in the hole.
I also didn't realize the knife was double stamped until i enlarged the photo

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
Thought I would throw my old German Henckels in to show everyone.
Lokks somewhat like the one Jonnnie showed.
This one has great stag handles and I feel itis in great shape.
I am thinking the Henckels are one of the Higher end switchblades, just my opinion.
I guess I do not know what one of these would bring nowdays but I think that
are hard to find.
Hope everyone enjous seeing this one. Not the best pictures but hope OK

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
A bit tortured but still worthy it has a diferrent stamp than that nice one Hawk posted up a couple frames ? mine doesn`t say "solingen " on it . Hmmmmm... maybe one is older , This one has a #4 on the release lever.
Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives

Re: German Made Switchblade & Gravity Knives
Anton Wingen is the probable maker.
