Re: Latama switchblades

I am older now and not the free spirit I once was. I also have a pacemaker, right side because not a good enough artery on the left. I wish I had thought to take photos of the rifles I had. Constantly buying shooting hunting and selling for years, I loved every minute of it but, no more recoil [ pac...

Re: Latama switchblades

I simply haven't been back on the forum for very long after many years of doing guns and motorcycles, so I am not even close to up to speed with who is doing what or working with whom here on the forum. I do think it's cool that you are here. I do remember your work from years ago and you are good, ...

Re: Latama switchblades

I couldn't agree more. As you know, you can get an SKM, maybe good maybe bad, for maybe $90 or a little more, a Frank B, which is quite often very good, for over a hundred plus and are often well worth it. I've been paying $150 for my Frank B knives and most of them are so "right", they are keepers-...

Latama switchblades

I just have a couple issues to clarify with the opinions of the group. I just received my third Latama and am looking to buy a fourth. I am slightly disappointed in the final quality of these high-end knives. The one I just got is a 9", bayo blade in Brazilian horn, the knife is a beauty. No problem...

Re: Latama 9", Brazilian horn -picklock-

Ijerr2, I'll get some photos and email then to you. I do not know all the steps to posting photos on this forum, I have tried, and they will not upload. It says nothing about the photos being too large, but then I'm old and possibly not very bright so that could be the problem, but with an email it'...

Latama knife tool -

Just yesterday I received my first Latama 9" swivel bolster and they sent a small tool with it, a very small 6-pointed star screwdriver. I see nothing on the knife that this would fit, can any of you Latama owners enlighten me? John
