In stockFolding Knives Walther
The German armory Walther, more precisely Carl Walther, was founded by Carl Walther in 1886. For more than 140 years, it has been producing firearms for business and sports use. The original factory in Zella-Mehlis (near Suhl in Thüringen) was abandoned after the division of Germany, and the armory has been based in Ulm (Baden-Württemberg) since the 1950s.
Walther's fame began with the launch of the PP model (Polizei Pistole) and especially the PPK model (Polizei Pistole Kriminalmodell), that became an iconic weapon of Agent 007. Another renowned model is the Walther P38, infamous in the hands of members of the Wehrmacht, but serving also in a light version of the P-1 in the Bundeswehr until the 90s. In 1993, Walther became part of the Umarex Group. Walther also manufactures modern service pistols, especially from the PPQ and PPS series, while Umarex offers their airsoft and gas variants. Walther has also been focusing on sport shooting for a long time and therefore offers specially modified sport variants of the originally service PPQ model and also offers a range of top sports air and small arms weapons for the Olympic disciplines.
All of the offered models of long weapons in stock can be viewed by prior arrangement in our stores in Prague, Brno, Vyškov or Tábor. If you have any professional questions, do not hesitate to contact us at the e-mail address zbrane@armed.cz.

Not sure how to choose a knife? There are several parameters by that to choose a knife.
EDGE OF BLADE
For universal use, a blade with a smooth edge is the most suitable, with that you can cut practically everything, as with a serrated one. The serrated edge is ideal for cutting ropes or leather, but on the contrary, it is not possible to chop wood or work wood properly with it. The golden mean is the combined edge combining smooth and serrated ones, but even this variant has its disadvantage - grinding. It is very difficult to sharpen the combined edge at home.
BLADE MATERIAL
The blade is the most important thing on the knife, it is made of either carbon or stainless steel.
Carbon steels contain more carbon, what is also reflected in their properties - they have better cutting properties, are easy to process and also grind, for example, by grinders from one of the most famous grinding manufacturers on the market, Lansky sharpeners, whose products can also be found in our offer. The disadvantage of carbon steels is their greater susceptibility to corrosion, so they require careful maintenance. Although stainless steels are not entirely stainless, as the name suggests, they require less corrosion maintenance than carbon steels.
BLADE SHAPE
In our offer, you most often encounter the shapes:
- drop point - the blade has a curved edge and a back with a convex curvature descending towards the tip of the blade
- clip point - the back is cut off towards the tip of the blade and the tip of the knife is much closer to the center of the blade, so the user has more control over the knife when stabbing
- tanto - the shape of the blade is inspired by the Japanese dagger tantó worn by samurai as a backup weapon, together with a short wakizashi sword. The blade is inclined at different angles at the front, and the advantage of this blade is its large thickness along its entire length.
- spear point - one of the best blades for stabbing, it is found usually on stabbing knives. The correct spearpoint blade has a central spine and is double-edged, as the spear head is.
FOLDING KNIVES FUSES
Fuses are on the closing knives to eliminate unintentional opening when carried in a pocket, but also to ensure the open position of the knife during work.
For knives from our offer, you usually come across fuses of the following types:
- lockback / backlock - a fuse characterized by a spring-loaded shutter with a protrusion at the end that fits into a recess in the blade
- linerlock - this fuse is characterized by a metal sheet in the knife handle; when the blade is opened, it is tensioned and clamped by the end of the blade inside the handle
- framelock - similar to the liner-lock safety device, the blade secures a tensioned metal blade, that is not inserted inside but is part of the handle, so the blade is secured by its own design - this safety device is slightly safer than linerlock
HANDLE MATERIAL
Handles are mostly ergonomically shaped and rubberized to fit well in the hand and prevent the hand from slipping on the blade and subsequent injury. In the range of folding knives, you can also come across knives with handles made of kraton, that is durable and has a low weight, or also made of steel, that is even more durable but heavier.
