Cosimo De Benedetto is a fine knife maker. He did a wonderful job on this rabbit skinner. I cannot recommend him enough.

Your photography is equal to that fine jigging, well done.

This got me thinking, what is the traditional way to jig bone? With a wood carpenter's gouge? Seems like that would be very tough on such a fine edge meant for wood . . .

Yeah I got lucky on those pictures. Thank you for the compliment.

Recently recieved this beautiful knife from Cosimo De Benedetto . What an incredible knife maker. Reference for the jigging was an old Schrade. As you can see, he pulled it off. Pictures don’t do this knife justice.

 

[unclekurty]

Outstanding jigging. That is a beauty of a knife. Way to go Paul. You and Cosimo came up with one to be admired.

Am not sure who actually did the jigging on any of these except for the Tozaki - I know for sure he does that himself.

All amazing, but Pena tops 'em all for me.

Had asked Jim to do a matching pair........didn't quite come off, nevertheless - a stunning jigged pair of his..!
