Included in this lot we have a Greman Rostfrei lever lock ram horn switchblade knife originating from the 1950's. The handmade knife features a high carbon steel blade with drop point design. The switchblade shows a highly polished nickel brass bolster, pommel and bolster lining which is accented by the beautiful rams horn grip scales. The grip scales show brass pins, with tan and grey coloration. The knife functions as a traditional German lever lock, showing a folding lever button which when pulled down and pressed, releases the blade immediately thrusting it forward and then locking into active position. The knife has a strong function with good operation. The blade then can be closed by pressing the same lever and pulling the blade into place at which point the lever will "lock" the blade back into place. The knife measures 8" long open with the blade measuring 3 1/4" long.
