So glad you received yours.
Can't wait to see it.

 

[Rufus1949]

Well, if the others are waiting, I will start.
This is a collaboration between Paul and Cosimo.
Old school at it's best.
The awe factor is off the charts.

As Bob had mentioned earlier. A few of us commissioned a very special knife from our friend Cosimo De Benedetto . What a pleasure it was to work with him on these knives. I’ve worked with a few makers and Cosimo is the gold standard for me. Always kept me in the loop and gave updates whenever possible. There may be an ocean in between us but answered all my nagging questions in a timely fashion.

Now to the knife. What a beauty !!!! Here are some of the particulars of the knife.

Bohler K720 carbon steel (An analog of O1 I believe.)

Intricate triple rat tailed bolsters

Jigged brown bone.

For size we went with the 93 lambsfoot.

These are so wonderful and so excited to own it. What a work of art. The action and pull are just perfect and I cannot see a single flaw in this knife. I’ve included a few photos of the first group that came in along with close ups of mine. Proud to say that 13 of these have been commissioned.
