I saw a knife about two years ago before I become "interested" in knives...

I remember liking the design but did not want to spend the money to buy it( under $100).

I have looked and googled but can not find it or anything that works remotely like it.

The knife I saw was assisted open by means of a lever arm that was on one of side of the knife.

The arm was connected to fulcrum at the pivot screw but was "geared" in such a way that moving the lever just a small amount along the flat of the handle was enough to swing the blade all the way open.

The lever have a nice ergonomic shape made it look and feel very nice.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could post a link or picture... Better yet a make/model so I could purchase one..

Camillus Lev-R-Lok!!!!! Bingo..

That is it or almost identical.. I remember the lever being longer but could have just been a different Model...

Thank you soooooo much!!!!

Is this a decent Knife?

More specifically is the mechanism sound?
Is there a reason they are not more popular? I thought it was a great idea when I first saw it years ago but never carried one or even used one other then viewing in the store..
 
Unfortunately, Camillus has gone out of business*, and the knives would only be available as NOS or on the secondary market. My friend had one in his shop, sat there for years.

Decent enough knife though....

*Or rather, I should say, the Camillus that made this knife has gone out business.

Is the design patented? Seems really cool... Surprised it is not seen more anyplace else..

That slider version is even more cool ( and functional) then the lever...(said by the person who has never held one)..

Any advise on how to find one would be appreciated... ( I already posted in the WTB section)

I just spent hours trying to fins one lol oh well maybe one day at my.local gun show ill see one nos bnib
 
The Lev-r-lok was sold in Perth Western Australia as a legal flick knife/switch blade because you can't own anything that's fun.
You would never get one through customs now. The way it's going you will need a permit for a sharp pencil.
