My name has been mentioned for a while on BF and I owe this to my great friend Jean Marc (Achillepattada)
My first experience with knives, dates back to 2010 with building 2/3 fixed blade knives a year.
Only in 2019, after seeing some slipjoint (Tony Bose, Bill Ruple, Ricardo Romano etc..) I was
fascinated and decided to start building them.

I started with little equipment inside my garage however with a lot of desire to do ...
My tools were a few files and a drill, I was reading anything related to knife making,
watched tutorials on youtube.
My first slipjoint were not very fascinating, now with the help of some BF members/Friends I am trying to correct some flaws on my works

Finally after 5 years I found the courage to submit my work to an exhibition "Coltelli ai Castelli"
It was a great experience, I saw wonderful works of other makers, got to meet and
talk with Knifemakers of the highest caliber, I mention only a few among them the great Sardinian knifemakers, Gigi Sechi and Giuseppe Galante, the wonderful knives of Denis Mura, Riccardo Mainolfi, Franco Bonassi and many others.
And with great surprise , I received the award for the best folding knife (slipjoint).

I would also like to thank all my forum friends for the trust they are giving me by taking of my work

Congratulations Cosimo! You are a most worthy recipient of such an award. Soon you will be the victim of your on success my friend. I am so thankful to have "beat the rush", because it's coming... ;)

 
Cosimo De Benedetto Cosimo De Benedetto congrats on the award my friend. Makes me happy to know that you are starting to get the recognition you truly deserve. It’s been a privilege getting to know you these last couple months. I put #3 to work already and can say that this knife is absolutely remarkable and I’m over the moon about it.

Will Power Will Power so sorry you are having difficulties with the other maker. I too have been through that and it was a disaster. I know exactly how you feel. I can attest to Cosimo’s utmost dedication to his customers and to the knives in which he makes. Look forward to seeing your knife in the future.
