Love that picklock! They're so cool. I have loved them since I was 8 years old. I want one just like it with a plain blade. Both a 9" and an 11" would be so neat! Face it, when the 9" comes out of the shirt/sport jacket pocket, the conversation/argument is over.

Thom,
The Latama with the flush red dot is one that I assembled for Walt. I engraved the tang stamp, inlaid the red dot, and "threaded" the rear bolsters.

Bill, thanks I did post it a few years ago when I bought it. I complimented you on the quality of your work. It is a super nice knife. Really cool stamp

It is a super nice and one of a kind knife. Priceless really. Only a fool would let it out of his hands................. :shock:

Bill, What does "threading" the bolster do? Is that the only one you did for Walt?

"Threading" is decorative lines cut into the bolster. I believe I have done a few more for Walt.
