Another stunning piece of modern art from the Master of the liner-lock Michael Walker. This piece features Walker's exotic patented Blade-Lock and an all DamaSteel Stainless Damascus blade, frame and back-spacer, as well as a highly machined frame in the classic Walker style. The scales have been inlayed with various geometric shapes in several precious metals. Naturally the knife opens and closes firmly but smoothly.

Other Michael Walker Knives
Walker started making knives in 1980 with fixed-blade art knives. But when a client asked him to make a sheath, Walker thought the task was more labor-intensive and didn't enjoy this as much as making the knives. As a result, he decided from then on to make folding knives. These don't require a sheath. This in turn led to his development of the Walker Linerlock.
In 2004, Walker was inducted into the Blade magazine's Cutlery Hall of Fame.
