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 his interpretation of the Classic Inter-frame drop-point hunter. The bolster features Ricardo's trade-mark satin and high polish banding, and the inlay are made from nicely matched Palm Wood. A modestly priced stunner by one of today's top integral masters.
