Re: Newest addition to my collection - Walt's Latama picklock
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.

It is a super nice and one of a kind knife. Priceless really.

Bill, What does "threading" the bolster do? Is that the only one you did for Walt?Bill DeShivs wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 3:41 pm Thom,

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