Does Anyone Make A Manual Lever Lock Pocket Knife?

[SpySmasher]

The recent "A Knife For Every Lock" thread reminded me of how much I'd love to own a manual lever lock pocket knife. If you're unfamiliar, a lever lock is a type of lock and opener used on switchblades. However, like a button lock, there should be no reason you couldn't use it on a manual folder. Unfortunately, I can't find one available for sale.

Actually, I found this one:

Very pretty but not quite a pocket knife.

Does anyone know of somebody making them?

I have seen that lock style on folders, but I don't have any memory of brands, model, etc... They are out there, trust me. If anything come to mind or if I see one "in the wild" I'll let you know.

I believe Hubertus and Boker lever lock springs are removeable. They come into the country manual. They have nail knicks as well.

GEC#23?
The lock is a lever but I'm not sure about calling it a lever lock...

If you mean the Bull Lock, yeah..it's a lever lock.
The lever is attached to the spring and pulls it up out of the tang notch when pushed up.

Edit to add: Otter Messer makes a version also and theirs predates GEC's.

Edit to the edit:: the bullock mechanism appears to be a fulcrum lock.

No answers here SS, but damn, that knife in the vid is really cool.

Nice. Thanks.

I'll check it out, thanks.

Sort of like a cross between a lever lock and a lock back, isn't it? Anyway, I am constantly on the search for one but I don't think it's a classic lever lock. Am I wrong?

No, I am wrong.
Upon further review I do believe the bullock mechanism is a fulcrum release lock.
