Pin through the guard is interesting, at least I think it's a pin.Does this still work as a switchblade?

Looks a good sturdy user ,but I like you would keep it as is with the price tag and rarity attatched to it .

Thanks for sharing it with us ..

Thank you and my pleasure.

Looks like several of the stars were involved with the development of this knife...Jerry, Bill, Walt, and those listed on the COA'.

Thanks for the link boots. That's the first site I have seen with them for sale. Even Walt's site does not have them listed.

It's a really nice knife Jim but with my arthritis I sometimes have trouble opening it. It's expensive enough that I wouldn't carry it anyway.
Thanks for the comments guys. If you want to see it opening go to "Artistic Switchblade" on facebook. There is a short video of it's action.

It opens by sliding the back scale forward.

She is really ticked off that one did not win "knife of the year".

Jim, I have never really had an interest in modern stilettos. I was strictly into the old ones. I could never get over the fact that you were buying something "copied". If I buy, which is often, they are all modern designs.

I agree Tom. I have pretty much stopped buying. I guess it will help me eventually when I start selling.

I have one and will show more detailed pictures later when I unpack it and play with it. It is priced in the 4 figures range.

This year Walt had a brand new design. It won an innovative design award last year and this year he had some for sale. It's a sliding scale with a different activation mechanism than other sliding scales Very neat, but not cheap.

They do make a larger version of that knife labeled "Dirac Delta". Tony Marfione has an interesting history, including suing his son TJ. I buy some of his non-custom knives but buy custom knives from his son who owns Heretic knives. Btw there are knock-offs of most of Marfione's knives; https://www....

Something similar with a little fancier blade.
