The above picture is on imgur so I don't know how long it will last.

fastr19, that's a beauty and I don't usually like rams horn. How thick is it? 3.5mm? Looks like it has the Walt's bayo blade

Allen...yes, I did inquire about the Rams Horn model you posted. I don't have anything with that scale material yet. Pat...you're right! That stamp with Frank Beltrame written in script, I thought were only on his limited additions (is the Humpback a LE?). Also, that Maniago Quality stamp I've only seen on Walt's Classics as well as the half grind blade. It's an all-around interesting combination.
*EDIT* Oh ok. Seeing Allen's post below says it is a limited edition.

You are correct. It is 3.5. With photobucket unusable I'm trying to limit my pictures in the event they too disappear. It has Frank Beltrame in script with the circled M on the button side. The other side has limited edition N 79/2012. I was in a ram's horn phase at that time and Bob thought I would like this.
It does have a long swedge but not as long as a half-grind,

I went to a two of Frank''s sites both featured photos of knives made in the past I also saw knives that are available today. If you're a first time visitor to Frank's site it can be very disappointing to find out what your looking at isn't available. Email Sara to find out what's is available.
The hump is not a problem for me. My knife opens swiftly; the coil spring does give the knife a different feel when it locks into place and it locks up perfectly. The ram scales on mine are as beautiful as the scales on Allen's knife. The modified half grind bayonet blade looks awesome.
Later in November of 2012 Frank released another Limited Edition Humpback with a D2 steel blade. Here's my original thread, sorry but Photobucket is holding my photos hostage till I pay the $400. per year to post photos: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20520&p=242620&hili ... ck#p242620

TELL HER TO MAIL OUT THE DAMN WALT'S!

But seriously, I'd guess that we'll be seeing them in the next couple weeks.

Pat, I check on a daily basis. Just in case they lost my email address. I'm sure Walt wouldn't of even put up the "Coming Soon" sign if he hadn't thought they were. Been quite a while. In fact, I've broken into my Walt's Piggy Bank and sent some to Angelo lol!
