Michael Walker folder pics

Well, Gaben... all I can say is "you da man".

Actually, I have composed myself and can say more.

Thanks very much for posting all these high rez pics. You far exceeded my expectations... Walker does amazing work, and these super duper high rez pics are the next best thing to owning them. Thanks again.

I think having super hi-rez pictures of them would be 4th or 5th best, not next best. I think going on a date with Lucy Liu and having it turn out that she has a huge collection of Walker knives that she lets you, y'know, fondle would be next best. Admittedly having super hi-res pictures of them would be ahead of having this guy at the office who has a tattoo on his butt of a Walker knife.

I should be careful or this thread'll get whined and cheesed.

Here's a brand new Walker folder.

The following is slightly modified for readability:

"Mike Walker has just completed this blade lock. The blade is a unique triple-ground asymmetrical design crafted of Damasteel. The flat side of the blade is unetched and polished to the degree where the pattern is barely visible. Only Walker seems to be capable of such a feat of artistry and craftsmanship.

The lock button, crafted of 18K gold is his new small design and is as smooth as glass. It remains positively locked in both the open and closed position.

The triple ground scales have patterns on the hollow-ground edges and the unetched center flat has a diamond-shaped inlay of 18K with the blackening of its background created with acids."
