Comments: This magnificent new model inter-frame, is the brainchild of Antonio Fogarizzu, former President of the Italian Knife Guild. Antonio was one of the remarkable artists featured in David Darom's book on the very finest folding knives. Antonio's fit and finish are astonishing and stand comparison to best folding and fixed blade inter-frames made anywhere in the world.
The stunning high-relief engraving in 18K yellow gold is by Master Ron Skaggs, and this is the first Fogarizzu knife ever engraved by Ron. The detail is astonishing and this is simply one of the two or three finest Skaggs engraved knives we've seen at any price. You must see the knife in person to believe the quality of the work!
The action of the folder is silky smooth, and the overall polish is truly superb. Topped off by wonderful hand-selected Presentation Grade Black-lip Pearl, this outstanding knife is a modern folding knife collectors dream.
