Latama's New Offerings
Latama has 3 new custom swing guards up for grabs, but at $780.00 I think I'll pass.

Re: Latama's New Offerings
To tell the truth, the last two customs I bought didn't stack up to their regular offerings. the liners were a little loose and the hole around the release button was a little large for the button. But if I had the cash that white pinecone resin sure looks nice.
Re: Latama's New Offerings
They’re beautiful knives. At this time I can’t afford to spend that kind of money on knives. But I’d like to add the snake wood swinger in my collection.

Re: Latama's New Offerings
It appears that Walt's knives have approached, and in some cases exceeded the prices of the superb custom Sardinian switchblades.

Re: Latama's New Offerings
I have many modern standard production Italian stilettos but I have no interest in the overpriced custom knives. I could buy a decent 1950s picklock for the same price or less. To each their own, but the modern "Latamas" made by Frank Beltrame are of no interest to me.
Re: Latama's New Offerings
thanks for the info RON K.

Re: Latama's New Offerings
Walt's custom knives are hand built by Tank Fisher from mostly factory parts, and they should be great knives.
I have built a few for him over the years, but no longer have the time to do so.

Re: Latama's New Offerings
Bread is pretty cheap compared to what one of those swing guards are. Maybe we can have a collection taken up and get you a jar of peanut butter. Happy Thanksgiving.
