SloJoe Custom 65th Anniversary Campolin Media
Published: 5 years ago
Arlin "SloJoe" Walker is for all intensive purposes a custom knife maker, he has spent decades customizing, tuning and embellishing Italian knives and this is one of the last knives he ever made. This 65th Anniversary 32cm Ringpull Campolin has been torn down to its core and rebuilt and fileworked to a perfection, the fire button has been replaced with a sterling silver hand cast skull along with a matching cross made from bones decorated with skulls.
The bolsters have been replaced and contoured for a more modern look and the original scales have been replaced with presentation grade blue Giraffe bone. The entire backstrap /spring have been fileworked on the inside and out to match the new premium brass liners. This type of work was rare when SloJoe was in his prime making regularly as his knives were in high demand, now getting something like this is next to impossible. This piece is truly a time capsule of automatic history.
