I think this knife is just spectacular.
This is the latest from Salvatore Fogarizzu.
Just getting up a quick post, I will add details later this week.
Tore calls this the T-Special with mother of pearl.

David, that is beautiful! I can see a bit of Horn and Lake influence there, I love it. Enjoy your new knife, cant wait to see more/bigger pics.

Thanks for all the great comments...
Just to calrify. I am picking up my knife from Tore at the NYC show in Feb. This picture is one from Tore.
I really like this knife and have ordered two!
One with tortise shell and one with MOP.

This knife was designed in conjunction with Francesco Amatori.
Tore has many variations for the blade shape and handle material
The MOP piece I am having made will be engraved by Franceso.

Thanks
David
 
Emmanuel is very humble, both he and Tore are some of Europe's hidden Treasures.
The T-special is lovely.Once the pearl is covered with Amatore scrim, the true design will show as a palate for the artistry of Francesco. Tore's artistry and attention to detail is quite evident by enjoying the great pictures.

Well said, Dave. The skill, precision, and styling presented by this new generation of young Italian makers is a pleasure to enjoy. :thumbup:

Tore and Emmanuel: Le mie congratulazioni!

Beautiful work, Tore!

Italy is surely becoming the center of world class
original custom knifemaking talent in Europe. Original in
design and impeccable fit and finish!

Are you related in any way to Antonio Fogarizzu?

I would have loved to see your knives in person
but will, regretfully, not be at the ECCKS....

You can send me the pictures you want to post, I'll do
it for you with pleasure.

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)

indexed screws to me are a real hallmark of precision, and a good reason why so many guys opt for torx fittings. Personally, if I'm going to see screws holding a knife together, I like to see them either modified by hand, or as they are in these knives- perfectly indexed.

This design reminds my of the Loveless Hideout model. Super clean, very attractive- erotico e pulito.

I'm curious about the locking mech. Is there one?
