Centofante Collection

[raider486]

I'm trying to get my hands on all of the centofantes from Spyderco. I can't seem to find any information on the original centofante. Can anyone send me to a link that might be able to help as well as let me know if there are any additional knives I'm missing?

First generation of the C25 Frank Centofante was available with ether a blue anodized aluminum handle with a blue Kraton inlay on the front side, or grey anodized aluminum handle with either a green or black Kraton inlay on the front side. Second generation was as pictured in jalcon's post. You might find more info by downloading the PDF versions of older Spyderco catalogs here.

The other one you're missing is the C66 Centofante Vesuvius, which looks pretty much like the Centofante III, but had a compression lock instead of a midlock. Below is the 2002 Spyderco Forum Knife version which, in spite of looking black, is actually a very dark burgundy. There was also a black version, without forum engraving, and a version with a blue shell inlay.
