Comments:
: Many of you already know French knife maker Charly Bennica as a master of the Inter-frame folder, but you may not know that Charly began with high-end fixed-blade hunting knives, which remain one of his great passions.
As distinctive and wonderful as his folders, this superb fighter called the Squale is fully integral and features one-of-a-kind inlays called "Fish Scale" pearl. Charly will not do this inlay again out of respect for the originator Emmanuel Esposito. It also has a truly fabulous polish.
Simply another great piece by a superb maker whose work is very hard to get.
By the way, the most exciting Bennica news is that as of the March 2012 East Coast Custom Knife Show, Charly has been voted the newest member of the AKI, also known as the Art Knife Invitational.
Haven't we been telling you for years that Charly is one of the very best!
You've got to believe us when we say this couldn't happen to a more deserving guy
