Clemente Esposito Amendola

"Belly" up to the box!!
Nice box inside the package box!!

Wow, what presence!!

The man himself!!!

Everything I had hoped!!! This knife makes me feel very Italian!!

Thank you Mr. Amendola!!! I am very pleased!!!
And thanks Jean-Marc for facilitating the acquisition!!!!

6 1/8" closed with a 5" blade!!! It makes a nice mechanical "Schroche" when it locks up!! Tight I might add!!!

More detail pictures!! The lock is quite a "machine"!! It "announces" that it is locking up!! Clemente names this knife the "Vipera Romana!!!"
(Pronounced Vee-pair-ah Ro-Mah-nah!!)
(I thought Mediterranean Coral was appropriate to dress up the pictures!!)
(The scratches are on my scanner glass - not the knife!!)

Hello Charlie,

I'm very happy that the knife arrived fast and safe. And I'm also happy to read you like it.

I'm not sure if I said it but the whole knife is hand-made. Really handmade. Clemente has no backstand and works only with files.

Love it to death!

It's a beauty of a beast !

A tooth pick for those long in the tooth (if they still have flexibility and Tyrannosaurus Rex arms ).
