Comments: Now there is a new name from Italy throwing his hat
into the ring and producing high-tech custom folders with interesting
and attractive designs as well as compelling technical flourishes. His name is Corrado Moro.
This wonderful liner-lock is called the “Whale”.
Before becoming a knife maker Corrado was a technician
specializing in design-engineering, project development
and milling. Moro is also a member of the Italian Knife Makers Guild (CIC
Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai) and in October of 2012 won
the prize for “Best Folder” at the Bologna Show.
He loves the opportunity to work with all types of materials
and is happy to use whatever fits the needs of his client’s
best. His knife making philosophy can best be described
as a total focus on the 100% elimination of construction errors
and adherence to proven construction strategies.
Asked about the source for his current knife styles he says
that he likes to create knives inspired by natural and man-made
things around him.
His current production is 12 knives per year.
