Sfreddo integral utility "Petit Nouveau"

[Patrick M.]

Here's what I get today from Brasil :

Blade 4 3/4" - overall lenght 9 1/4"
The blade was forged with 6 bars modified turkish (O1/15N20)
Integral carved bolsters, spine, and full tang.
Ironwood handle. Stainless domed pins.
Leather sheath with ostrich skin inlay.

Actually it is darker than it is on the picture. Just perfect in my hands, and gorgeous, definitely !

That's a beautiful integral, Patrick. I like those relieved areas with the texturing. It looks like the background was punched for a softer, finer texture. Very nicely done!

that's freakin sick!
This Sfreddo fellow is one of my all time favourite knife artists. What a talent he has.

Wow there are just so many things I like about this knife. From the pattern to the wood . The subtle curves of the handle and the overall shape are very appealing

I'm really diggin' that piece. From the overall flow, to the steel pattern, to the touches on the spine and tang. Nice.

Still not getting used to the spotted skin though. Still think there's a disco ball shining on it at first glance!

Lots of contours and curves contributing to the outstanding flow of this knife. You can easily see how comfortable in hand this piece is.

Very interesting damascus to blade spine transition.

Rodrigo isn't too bad when it comes to making integrals.
