Comments: Those of you who are familiar with the Ricardo Velarde story already know that he had two of the finest knife making mentors on the planet. Steve Johnson was Ricardo's early mentor, followed by a year in Dietmar Kressler's shop learning to make flawless integrals.
Ricardo has done both of his mentors proud with this stunning double-ground Loveless Style Dixon Fighter. The grips are made from a superb pair of perfectly matched Antique Ivory scales. An absolutely flawless piece of work in a timeless shape.
The engraving is by legendary Italian Master Gun engraver Manrico Torcoli and is an absolutely astonishing example of the highest level of the engravers art. Normally there would be a wait of years for a sample of this masters work, but you can own this world class example without the wait!
