I just read elsewhere that Frank Centofante passed after a lengthy illness and hospitalization.
Rest in peace.

He will be dearly missed, Rest in peace. our prayers go out to his family and friends. he did just amazing work and i have been wanting to get his book "How To Make Folding Knives" for a long time. RIP

Terrible news.

I sure liked Frank.

Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet him.
I think I've read his section in How to make Folding Knives at least a dozen times.

He made a fine folder, one of the best from what I understand.

It's sad to see the old masters move on to wherever it is we go from here.

He did however, leave quite a legacy. His name, his fine knives, and the techniques he so generously shared, will live on for a long, long time.

RIP Frank Centofante

The man was a real contributor to the knife community.

I never met him, but his work stands as an inspiration to all knifemakers.


Condolences to his family, Fred
