Comments: This magnificent inter-frame, is the brainchild of Antonio Fogarizzu, recently 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.
This new model by Antonio features a hidden blade release system not seen on folding knives since Richard Hodgson used a similar release on his famous folders.
The Bulino engraving is by Italian Master Gianfranco Pedersoli, one of the finest and most sought after gun engravers in the world. The detail and shading is astonishing and this is simply one of the two or three finest engraved knives we've seen at any price. You must see the knife in person to believe the quality and realism 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 Amber, this outstanding knife is a modern folding knife collectors dream. Comes complete with a nicely made leather pouch.
