I want to publicly thank you Bill.

A growing number of collectors customize their automatic knives by changing scales, bolsters, blades, doing fileworks, ... Wether you're a guru or just a wannabe knife modder, this is the place to discuss it!

I want to publicly thank you Bill.

Post by Fishtail Picklock »

Thanks to you and Jeremy Kreis, he will finally faithfully recreate my father's 1938 10 3/4" Latama Fishtail Picklock complete with Brazilian cow horn as well as a 4mm 1095 blade and back spring, just like dad's original knife! It will be as if dad were alive and, once again, working on the deck of a destroyer or mine sweep. :mrgreen: 8)
Thank you, Bill.

If I had it I would find some way to post a picture. (The knife has yet to arrive).

The knife has arrived and it is BEAUTIFUL! Jeremy Kreis is planning on posting pictures of the piece at his convenience.
