Yes, folks...I did it again! After selling my last Hubertus "Indy" pocketknife to my good friend Pyroxene, I finally broke down and ordered another one from The Knifeshop in Austria. I requested they select one for me with flat stag scales...to better emulate the one Indy used in ROTLA. I'll give a report when I receive it.

I'm Buying Another "Indy" Hubertus Pocketknife!

Good stuff Ron - I own one of these from www.knifeshop.com - they are great to deal with and the knife in question IS the exact same model of knife indy uses in Raiders, IMO. 
I think they had it listed under 'hunting knives' if I remember rightly...there was a big thread here on COW a while back, where Molorom convinced me the Hubertus was indeed tHE knife, lots of pics and item numbers were on that thread...but I can't seem to find it. Perhaps it was wiped out when the old threads were cleaned up recently?
I'll keep digging for you, I should have the info somewhere...

ob1al...I'm not saying this to brag...so please don't take it that way, but I was the one who did the research and "found" the Hubertus knife...I purchased one, which has since found a good home with Pyroxene. I miss having one, so I finally ordered another! I received word back frm the guys at The Knifeshop today that they are picking out the 12.300oHH.00 with the flattest stag available. These guys provide GREAT service! On www.knifeshop.com, select "Pocketknives", then "Hunting Pocket Knives"...this should get you to the 12.300HH.00.

My Father had the knife when the film came out,
and we always knew that it was infact the knife.
It took me a while to come foward, and when ronC purchaced
the knife i was trying to convince everyone alse he was infact right
and that it was the knife. Infact, one of my firsts posts in the old forum,
if i remember correctly, was about how i had the knife that i thought was
the one in raiders, and everone came up and told me it was a boyscout, knife, not the hubertus, and the topic evuntally died away, as it was not real important back then. That was long before you arrived, I dont mean to be offensive,
just telling you what i remembered.

Gosh, that reminds me...in my old box of camping gear, I've got my grandfather's old knife - stag handle just like that. Now I can't wait to get back to NY to go look for that...rats!
But I'm pretty sure it hat a pointed tip, not the more obtuse blunted tip like the Hubertus...so it's probably not it. But when I get my hands on it I'll take a look, and if it's pretty close I'll post a pic.

Indiana Jerry, the Hubertus has quite a pointed tip, and is not blunt. I think you'll find it to be a very good "using" knife, in addition to being "Indy accurate." I will not make the same mistake of selling it, as I did my last one! (Although I am glad my friend Pyroxene wound up with a great pocketknife!)...and Molorom, you and your father were indeed correct! At the time "Raiders" came out, I was familiar with the Hubertus as well...as with you, I was convinced it was the correct knife...just took purchasing one to make sure!

Hunh...I had myself talked out of it, but maybe I'm on to something. Okay, hate to set up such a long cliffhanger, but next time I get my hands on it I'll get it be to Cali w/ me...could be months, though. If I've got a close looker, I'll post pics, and maybe we can get closer to 'the knife'.RonC wrote:Indiana Jerry, the Hubertus has quite a pointed tip, and is not blunt.
This knife has sentimental value as well, so no selling this, but if it's close any info I get out of it will be shared in this forum.
Adam, I scanned the other threads, but if the info is there I missed it - is your father's old knife the Hubertus, or something else? If it's something else, have you been able to identify the maker at all?
Thanks,
J
Riverwind, go to www.knifeshop.com, select "Pocketknives", then "Hunting Pocket Knives." Scroll down and you will see the 12.300. HH.00. That is the one we are speaking of, my friend!.

...I went to their site and saw the pic of the knife, but it does not say what sort of steel the blade is made from, which is what my question was...If anyone could help me out with this, I would appreciate it...Thanks!

Wow. That's a bit o'moola. I'm sure it IS woth the money. Most quality items are. I just wish I were rolling in cash!RonC wrote:Rick, I just ordered mine, and it cost me $91.00 and change (this includes shipping from Austria). I will say they are well worth the money spent! An excellent knife for everyday use! And the folks at The Knifeshop provide EXCELLENT customer service.

In received my Hubertus knife today...and it's perfect! They personally selected one with flat stag scales for me....it looks very much like the ROTLA pocketknife! I'm very pleased with it. I'll try to get some digital pics of it within the next couple of days....Pyro, would you be willing to post them here for me?

Hello All:
I am a relative newby here, but I caught this thread and read all the posts and couldn't help myself......I ordered the Hubertus 12.300. HH.00 that you all are speaking of (from the KnifeShop). I just received it 10 minutes ago. What a BEAUTIFUL knife. I have some nice knives, but none like this! It really is special. I am very psyched!! I can't wait to use it!

Congrats on a fine purchase - it is a great knife, I love mine.
I was dismayed to think I had left it in London last week (at the UK summit hotel) until it eventually turned up in my jeans pocket! Phew!
And a couple of weeks ago when my MKVII was stolen, I thought at first my hubertus was inside...later I remembered that on the morning of the day in question, my knife had actually dropped out of my bag into the footwell of my car's passenger seat - lo and behold, I went to look for it and it was still there!
It's MY lucky charm!
