Anyone ever heard of Hubectus ? Made in west Germany
I can't find the Hubertus.To be quite frank I don't keep track of my inexpensive knives as I do my more expensive acquisitions.I may have even traded it.I did,however,find a Mikov, which is a Czech lever-lock.It certainly doesn't possess the character of your $1.00 Hubertus but it is an example of the Mikov lever-lock knives.

I own several Hubertus folders and a couple of fixed blade knives and I don't think they were inexpensive. I'd buy them all day long for a dollar;even with a broken spring....
The multiblade is a bit unusual.

Expense is a relative term.Like most knife collectors you buy what you like,sometimes putting aside the price.
