Walt's Latama Flat Guard customized
Here is one of the recent Flatguards by Walt. white bone with Damascus dagger blade. I think this is one of two made. Really nice knife, but I had the handle shaved. Now has a vintage feel and no big step from bolster to scales. I like the contrast of the white to Damascus. The smaller pictures are before the scales were shaved.

Thanks JV no one one else posting pictures. Thought I would get the ball rolling.
Re: Walt's Latama Flat Guard customized
I agree. The shaved scales give the knife a more fitted, custom finish.
Re: Walt's Latama Flat Guard customized
Hey Thom - no I have not had scales shaved. I’m a novice so I certainly couldn’t do it. Did you do yours or did you have another member do it? The knife looks primo.
Re: Walt's Latama Flat Guard customized
Very nice indeed, i appreciate the shaved scales as well. Looks great with the Damascus blade

Very nice. These new Walt’s knives with Chad Nichols Damascus blade profiles are extremely nice knives! Only a few were ever made and probably the few made will be the only ones forever. The rarest Walt’s Latama switchblades out there. I was lucky to message Walt right in time before the knives were all sold and I was able to pick out a beautiful primo Brazilian horn Chad Nichols, it’s super nice!

I don't know if anyone else here bought one of these, but with age it is showing more coloration. Some yellowish streaks and brown/tan flecks, It's getting better with age. Is this common with white bone?
