Beautiful knives Mike and Jeff. Love that stamp. I have a 9” that’s slightly different. Finekut written in script on the front and Panamex on the back. Opposite of the 3 posted.

Absolutely Mike! (Any opportunity to post pics works for me! :lol:)...Mine is 9", has smaller guards (ears), brass pivot pin, octagon shaped lock tab. It's not "D" stamped, though there appears to be an outline in that spot, but no cutout. Finekut in script on front and PANAMEX over ITALY on back. This came from the late/great Tim Zinser's collection (rest his soul). Forgive the bad/quick pics please...

Thanks guys! I have an old 9" Latama with very similar build. Small ears, brass pivot, octagon lock tab and no D stamp. There must be an affiliation with Edwin Jay and/or Coricama.

It's weird what you guys are saying because I have only seen 8" (maybe 9") Panamex FKs. I don't think I have come across any 11"s. Granted I only ever saw a few of the 8" ones.

Latham’s has had two different 11” Panamex models on his site for sale for a while. Certainly out there.

The horn on that is off the hook. I’m glad you scored this one.
