I just picked this one up and wondered if any of you had seen one like it? I believe these were made for the British market.

Bonsa lever lock

I have never seen that Bonsa LL patern before and I agree:
the style of full stag horn handle slab and a burr replacing the solid top bolster is strange.
The style of lever is common on Bonsa switchblade knives and was still marketed by Robert Klaas company prior the last changes of the weapons' law.
Anyway I have no idea why such knives might be crafted for the British market.

Hello Cut,
Thanks for your reply. I'm basing the British concept on a couple of things. One is that I see a lot of British made knives with the same brass washer under the pins. Secondly I know some Italian manufacturers that told me that knives made for Britain were usually stamped "Foreign" on the tangs. I used to own this lever knife that I bought from a collector in England.
