The Vallotton family makes the most artistic knives, by far. This piece was custom made for me after I found a similar knife on BladeHQ and they refused to sell it to me, since they will only ship Switchblades to "law enforcement." If you've ever seen the movie Drive with Ryan Gosling, you may have spotted a Vallotton knife in one of the scenes near the end of the movie. Somebody in the crew clearly has a collection like mine!
