the knife gods are smiling upon me!

Post by Captain O »

I have entered a contract with Mr. Jeremy Kreis to build my fathers 1938 Latama Fishtail Picklock Automatic Knife. I didn't want to say anything before I paid him in full for the project. Jeremy has agreed to make it just like the 10.75" 1938 original. It will be an exact duplicate. It will come complete with a 4mm 1095 carbon steel blade and backspring with a satin finish, brass liners, nickle silver bolsters, firing button and slide button safety. (I selected black Brazilian Cow Horn with a few white streaks for added character).
The only difference between this new "Latama" is that it will have a larger sear hole and more durable sear pin. He is going to begin the build in two weeks. ::ds:: ::groove:: ::tu:: 8) I know you're wondering what this cost me? Wait for it... $425.00 + $8.00 shipping for a grand sum totaling $433.00! ::handshake::

Many thanks to Bill DeShivs for helping me get in touch with Mr. Jeremy Kreis without his help, it would never have been possible.

The wait begins.

IMO For that price he’s doing if for the fun of the hobby .
He might be just clearing minimum wage let alone the cost of materials ::shrug::
Congrats .

Jeremy Kreis will begin the build in two weeks and I am currently residing in a house where I have no internet access.

Please be patient.
