Introduction:


Mike Walker, a modern master of folding knives, inventor of the liner lock, holder of numerous folding knife locking mechanism patents, and a master of the AKI Art Knife Association, is a skilled artisan dedicated to handcrafting knives. With decades of experience, Mike is both a machinist and an inventor. He revolutionized and patented the modern liner lock in 1980, contributing significantly to the industry. Additionally, he played a foundational role in the development of tactical folding knives, with tactical folding knife pioneer Ernest Emerson being one of his apprentices. Mike's patented designs have had a profound impact on the modern folding knife industry.


Mike Walker holds the distinction of being the world's most expensive folding knife artisan, making him an unparalleled figure alongside Apton in the realm of folding knives. If you're a folding knife enthusiast, chances are your collection owes a debt to Mike's craftsmanship. Each of Mike's handmade pieces is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail, with every screw being personally crafted by him, ensuring a level of detail that is truly unique.


The Harley Folding Knife, one of Mike's exquisite creations, features the advanced Blade Lock 2.0 system. The movable push button on the blade is made of Damascus steel with a golden touch, allowing for the seamless locking and unlocking of the blade. The Damascus steel blade showcases hollow grooves and perforations, creating a comet-like appearance as it travels through the universe.


The handle of the knife is also crafted from Damascus steel, with the central screw being a prominent feature. Made of titanium alloy, this screw is not a CNC part but a product of manual lathe craftsmanship. The beautiful anodized color adds a touch of futuristic elegance. The handle is further adorned with a gold-inlaid abstract comet pattern, showcasing Mike's unparalleled attention to detail.


All the intricate details and patterns in Mike's work are achieved without the use of CNC equipment. Each detail is treated as a unique piece, elevating the perceived value of this seemingly minimalist creation. Many folding knife collectors consider owning a piece by Mike as a lifelong goal, attesting to the extraordinary charm of his creations.
