"Latama" 13 inch picklock

Post by Peiper »

Here is one of my Latamas I have. A very high-quality switchblade and a little heavier than other 13 inch knives I own.

Really nice knife! I love them in solid black horn like this, they look a little more menacing.

Wow. That’s really nice. I am still trying to find another. That one would do nicely.

Thanks, guys. I agree rithvich, the black horn gives it a classic 50s era appearance - menacing. I also like the craftmanship on the round, flush handle. Something we don't see much of on new ones.

Thanks for the replies. Here is my other one. I think this one is a later model than the first one. It is 13 inches as well. Notice the different safety design.
