A large variety of folding knives were produced in Germany during the post-WWII period. Many of these knives were tailored for use by hunters and campers. Commonly, these hunting knives were advertised under various German names like Springer, Springmesser, Jagdspringmesser, or Federmesser. Among U.S. outdoorsmen and collectors, this knife became known as the Leverlock.
