I am a photographer, I DO NOT sell these knives. Contact Maker for info
Makers: How can I serve YOU!?

We create images which reveal the true artistry and raw beauty of knives. Our images often use multiple views in a composite image, or show the knives in stunning singularity.

fulfills a dream. SCHWINNNNG! 41" of thin, sharp, fast LETHAL, pointy blade, with the protection from a revolt.

SWIPE--->> INCREDIBLE holster and carrying system.

"'La Garde' is a true hero's sword.

This rapier pulls influence from modern film, classic French literature, and historical museum works for a sword worthy of a hero.

Representing the sword of D’Artagnan, a gift from a king to one of his personal guards, this piece combines rich detailing and gold gilding. Throughout the piece there is a repetition of acanthus leaves and fleur-de-lis (lily flower) in the metal and leather work."

Blade Length 41.5"

Guard Material: Gilt steel and bronze fittings

Scabbard: Eric Estlund

Features: Made by Eric Estlund for with modeling and casting assistance Matthew Berry / .

Walt was truly 'Knife People'. His passion for his niche was unmatched.

Trevor and I have captured ALL of his Latama stilettos for the past 15 years.

He would sell out every batch we captured. His followers are rabid collectors. His business acumen was remarkable.

Walt was in NYC advertising in his earlier professional years. His passion for stilettos and other knives became his second job.

One of his modern automatics won 'Most Innovative Knife' at a past Blade Show. (Fill me in?).

One of THE most likable guys on the planet. We were privileged to work with him.

His charming and knowledgable wife Malgosia helped behind the scenes: Packing, labeling, distributing. She is going to carry on. Business as usual.

I went to his wake last Sunday. I may have been the only knife person there. The family was WELL aware of his stature in this regard. I represented us.

I could not let him pass without a mention. This will surprise and disappoint many.

It's not MY loss: It's OURS.

We love the people in our community who are so passionate about knives and people involved.

Thanks for the good times, Walt!

Wonderful EURO styling! combines curves, finishes and materials which draw the viewer into a closer look.

That globe insert has transformed the guard into an attentive EYE. That it's a 'Hawkbill' blade simply confirms the choices.

It's got satin outer finish and bright mirror polish in the 'eye'.

Desert Ironwood for sure. GREAT hamon activity.

Ornate sheath included. What a package.

SWIPE----> for a second closeup.

Follow him! Thanks Rich. (Collector)

REPLAY--> The VERSATILE Bob pulls this tribute style off twice. OG (Tom Maringer) designed this style and Bob reached out and asked him if he could replicate. 'Please do'.

Neither available. 5-6 years ago. BOTH abundantly still wanted.

Comment on your praise here.

Follow him! Thanks Bob.
