Walther

Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAL : Walther


Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen is a German arms manufacturer. For more than 100 years, Walther has created major breakthroughs in the development of pistols. Many have become legendary, like the PPK and the P99 — both weapons of choice for the fictional character James Bond — and the P38, often used by Nazi movie villains. (Note: German 'Walther' is properly pronounced 'Valter' but, due to years of Anglicisation, notably in the James Bond films, 'Wolta' and 'Woltha' are regularly heard.)

They also have a line of tactical knives.
