I checked this model out this morning and was intrigued by it but don’t know much about the Sprint version . Does anyone have the Walker Sprint and would appreciate your impressions since purchase ? Thank you , MG2

One of the knives i regret selling the most. Its a smaller knife but thin and light with good ergos. Its one of the best from the golden era IMO

I've got an Almite Walker around somewhere, it was the blue tint aluminum handle version. Don't know how relevant that is to the CF sprint... which I haven't handled myself.
But if I'm being honest, cool design, nice piece, but not exactly my favorite. Thin handle/grip surface, not the most comfortable.
Going back to Caly.

Thanks much , I have been wanting to add to small knives and when I handled the Walker yesterday I was impressed by the workmanship. I did read the Tuscany thread where Walker was used hunting . I found that funny since I had a friend who field dressed Deer with a Meerkat that I gave him years ago . Dan

I keep holding out hope for a new run. ZDP-189 is still a favorite and the Walker is a fantastic design.
