$65 on Ebay right now for a Warden. How is the side play? Do they lock up tight? Are these made in Germany?

Had this in my collection for several years.
It's a classic Herbertz lockback folder from the 80's with clippoint blade with nailnick, wood handle inlay & brass bolsters, and still hairshaving sharp.













These pics will give you an idea of the sheer size of the thing; under the Herbertz 900 you see a Strider GB & a Spyderco Military, no small knives by themselves.





Specs Herbertz 900:

Length open: 39,5 cm
Length closed: 22,3 cm
Blade length: 17,7 cm
Blade thickness: 5,2 mm
Weight: 697 grams

First knife I was given by my Grandpa is a Buck 110-look-alike, and unfortunately, I managed to misplace it long time ago.  For memory sake, I did get the original Buck 110 and hopefully be able to past down to my yet-to-be-born son/daughter someday.

These XL models were probably never meant for sale to the public.
From my research i learned that these knives were only sold to dealers who carried the Herbertz brand, more or less as an advertising specimen.
