Springer Switch blade?

Post by rock »

I've got a crude made switch blade knife (surley hand made) that has "Springer" stamped on it near the butt. I've had the knife for over 50 years. It was given to me by my father when i was young. Not sure where he got it or how long he had it. Anyone got any knowledge of this knife.

I'd need to see a picture, but there were a lot of companies in Solingen, Germany who made these knives and many of them stamped the bottom bolsters with "Springer" including Hubertus up until the 1980's I believe.
