A legend worth whispering about.
Certain knives are the stuff of legends—something every collector hears about but few ever see. The Walker Blade Lock is one such knife, as mythical as the chupacabra or the shape-shifters of Navajo lore. While custom knifemaker and inventor Michael Walker is a legend in his own right, his trailblazing Blade Lock folding knife has been re-released with modern materials that still retain the classic looks of Walker’s original.
The Walker Blade Lock is a positive lock system that keeps the blade locked in the open and closed positions. The mechanism operates with a spring-loaded tab behind the thumbstud on the blade. To open or close the knife, depress the thumbstud while pushing forward or back to rotate the blade in place. With a sheepsfoot blade crafted from 14C28N steel and a stainless handle overlaid with durable G10, the Walker Blade Lock is one legend worth whispering about.
