The Hubertus lever lock or switchblade knives – called Springer – are a synonym for the high quality made by Hubertus Solingen. Especially in the United States they are very popular with a huge fan base.
A lever lock is a pocket knife with a blade springing out of the handle into an opened position by pressing the folding lever.
The standard materials for the switchblade handles are stag horn, buffalo horn, ebony, micarta and palisander.
The history of german automatic knives began around 1850. Pocket knives were part of the daily work, but sometimes it was difficult to open them. Therefore knife makers invented a mechanism to open a pocket knife with just one hand.
The lever lock knives became much more popular in the following years and so they produced them with various differerent components to satisfy every purpose. Hunters preferred tools with an additional saw blade, cap lifter or corkscrew.
Hubertus is a world leader in terms of automatic knives.
