My family never really did holidays. But, Dad did say a prayer before every meal and I was taught The Bible very well in my first 12 years. But, I certainly knew the meaning of the holidays. I was personally never baptized into any religion. But, I know what you mean, Terry. The older I get, the ...

I can't speak for every young person out there, because I'm sure there are many exceptions (hopefully), but whether the date is accurate or not, I'm positive there are generations younger than myself that never mention the word "God", "Jesus", "Religion" or "Church", etc. at Christmas time. No ...

It certainly does, and possibly his tiny hands makes it look bigger.

I had forgotten about the movie "FREAKS" being as old as 1932. Looks like a swinguard with a clip point blade, though hard to tell.

Here's a question for the modern Latama enthusiasts: According to the link provided by Killgar to the Walt Halucha interview, Walt said that the knives marked "Walt's Flat Guard" were some of the earliest knives Walt had made in Maniago for him. Since Walt didn't add the Latama etch to his knives ...

I listened to Walts. In the small world part of life, I met Walt at the Mystic show a few times. Turns out he lived behind my childhood house in an apartment for a few years.
I also spent years in the Times Square area hunting switchblades....He referenced the picture of a guy looking at a ...

...Thank you!

I know lots of guys here have great collections of vintage & modern Latama's. In the meantime: a little 4.5" (12cm) Latama Flatguard Picklock in horn...

Thanks Killgar. I listened to #64 also. Hard to believe I was a Letter Carrier in Walden NY for 20 years. Lived in Walden for 14 years. Grew up in the area, and never really knew where the old Schrade factory ever was. But, since nobody I dealt with was into knives or switchblades, I guess it was ...

That’s a great old flatguard Latama, hearandgone!

The button on mine doesn't twist.


Interesting. Maybe mine was broken or earlier or later change. I think it lifted slightly then rotated. No matter. Just fun playing with these old knives…

I hope you didn’t picture me attempting to twist mine 🤣. “Mama didn’t raise no fool, and if she did ...

Allen! That’s the best news I’ve heard in quite a while! Thanks for letting us know!

Tom- Thank you! I believe it’s a decent example and a collectible piece. D/A action works nice. It’s in good shape. But, the thought of protecting yourself with it is questionable 😂. Unless of course, I could thwart off my attacker by offering to butter his toast 🤣. I find it to be a rather fragile ...

Wow, talk about jogging one's memory! I completely forgot I even had an Othello marked OTF that's second from right in the 1965 catalog. Now that you've reminded me Killgar, I do recall an old SD Forum post where Bill did say his was from 1965. I totally forgot about it! I honestly never put a lot ...

A very Happy Birthday to you, arthas! Buon Compleanno!
