Walt's CUSTOM 28cm CLASSIC “Big Chief” 2026 Elite Series. TruStone Copper Matrix Turquoise is a stunning material that captures the beauty of natural turquoise while offering enhanced durability. Featuring a vibrant blue-green base with intricate copper veining, this material mimics the look of high-quality turquoise gemstones. TruStone is made by stabilizing crushed stone with a durable resin, enhancing its strength while maintaining the beauty of the original mineral.
“Big Chief” Elite Series features our 440C Traditional Bayonet grind blade, solid nickel-silver bolsters, and 1.2 mm thick brass liners. Designed with a pin-less construction offering a sleek, uninterrupted profile. Unlike traditional designs, the scales are screwed on, allowing for easy maintenance. The nickel-silver short-throw safety with locking detent mechanism ensures a secure and reliable lock-up, It deploys faster than ever with a solid lock-up you can both hear and feel, thanks to the new, STRONGER and RUST RESISTANT 5mm back spring.
The blade features familiar LATAMA over Italy and Walt's stylized cat tang stamp, complemented by a Native American Nickel Silver lock tab. The deep web-like pattern creates a striking contrast, making it a one-of-a-kind choice for collectors.
