About Us

Back in the early 1950s LATAMA switchblades were prominently displayed in souvenir shops and cutlery store windows smack in the heart of Times Square. Literally hundreds of every size and scale variation that would astound me. Even then, I knew that there was something very special about these quality knives. I had the opportunity to fire one of the LATAMAS and I was hooked for life on the sound and authority that it had when you pressed that magic button! I am excited about the potential for LATAMA.net and I think you will be as well. It is my intention to share my passion and create knives that cannot otherwise be found in today's knife market that are affordable.

In addition, QUICK RELEASE OIL knife lubricant is proud to sponsor The NEWSLETTER Archives. Interesting, rare, historical and priceless information and photos from "The Automatic Knife Resource Guide and Newsletter" created by Sheldon Levy that was devoted to the world of Spring-Steel first published 1992. The art of the Italian Switchblade, information and quality spring-steel is what LATAMA is all about.
