Re: My Walt’s Latamas

JulesVane, yes, all purchased during the last half of August. I’m fortunate that Wifee loves me. LOL ...I certainly jumped into the deep end with my newest obsession. 😫 No regrets, though. Just more “stuff” for our two daughters to go through when we’re gone. I’m placing a letter in my safe to let t...

Re: My Walt’s Latamas

Thom, surprisingly its smoother than I expected. As I’m sure you know, the lighter bands in Wenge Wood are known to be softer than the dark bands (often making them feel more “textured”). On a different subject, it took me a little while (and a peek at YouTube) to figure out how to close the two pic...

Re: My Walt’s Latamas

Thom, you asked for a report on the Wenge Wood. It’s awesome! I love the Abalone knives, but the Wenge Wood might be my favorite.👍

My Walt’s Latamas

I jump started my Walt’s Latama collection in August. Walt is an awesome person to do business with. Pictures aren’t the greatest quality... Here they are: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dlzig909nlwlxa7/Photo%20Sep%2002%2C%209%2042%2015%20AM.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/v3vlq0g4jd67kif/Photo%20Sep%...

Re: Newbie Here

Thanks for the warm welcome and kind words everyone. I’ll post pictures of my Latamas after they’ve all arrived. As I’m sure you know, Walt is very quick to get orders in the mail. Thanks again! Oh, and Thom, I won’t get you in trouble with your wife if you don’t get me in trouble with mine.😂

Newbie Here

I’m a newbie to this forum. I’ve been lurking here for quite some time and just wanted to say thanks for the education. This is a great place to learn. Much to Wifee’s consternation, I’ve started a collection. I’ll be posting pics of my acquisitions when they arrive. Thanks for having me, y’all.... ...
