Very nice! The front scales looks way cool. What’s the back look like? From the little that can be seen from the photo it too looks amazing.

Peiper that’s another Latama flatty that I used to own, it was the very first 33cm Latama flatty I ever bought. They are very rare because the 33 cm was only made in 1949 and not for the entire year only a small timeframe of 1949 they made the bigger 33cm’s which is why you see so few of them. That’s another one I hope you enjoy for years to come...

I like ever thing about that Latama,most of all is that it was used and not abused.

Great knife! Besides being a super rare 13" Latama flatty I think the horn is very cool and unique, congrats!
