Very special knife, with a very special history
Hello there gentlemen,
I wanted to share a pic of a knife I just got in stock because it has a very nice tale on it. During the last Atlanta Blade Show, Rodrigo Sfreddo, Luciano Dorneles and Ricardo Vilar met some Mastersmiths, made new friends and saw some old ones. They managed to get together and hit some iron at Jerry Fisk's shop after the show and Luciano and Rodrigo showed how they forge their famous integrals. This knife was born in this little demo amongst friends. In this ocasion, Mastersmith Jim Crowell presented Sfreddo with the maple used on the handle, and later on, for reasons of true friendship, it was given me to sell it. Rodrigo decided to name it the Fellowship Hunter, as from all the begging of it's forging to the offering of the knife, it is linked somehow to a sincere felling. And that is what I wanted to share with you, more then just a sight. Thanks for looking and reading. Specs: 5" 5160 blade, curly maple handle, silver wire inlay, sharkskin inlay leather sheath and great energy all along! |

Great looking knife! I really like the inlay on the handle (the handle looks very comfortable too). I like the whole package. Thank you for sharing that with us!

VERY cool knife, Jeff. I really like what he did with that maple. The blade is clearly a fine example of the Brazilian style, but the handle is unmistakably American, in the tradition of Bill Moran, Jay Hendrickson, and many others since. To me, this knife symbolizes not only the fellowship between a small group of knifemakers, but, in a way, a fellowship between two cultures. Very cool indeed.

Geez Derrik, I couldn't say it in a better way. That is exactly what it is!
I remember when they first went to Blade Show a couple of years ago and they got as a present a couple of copies of Bill Moran's videos. I watched the one about handles in Rodrigos home and we went on and on talking about how cleaver he was in his designs and how those handle designs were far ahead of his time! Mr. Moran is a mark on the custom knife business, and not only for his damascus research .. but for far more than that. The blade is Brazilian style, handle is all american look! The fellowship knife couldn't have a better name. |

Cool. I was there when this blade was being forged. It's great to see the finished piece.

HEY! I don't recall being invited to the party! ) You guys sound like you had a great time, plus learned something from each other. Dang, I wish I was closer to that area. Carrie and I will be in Texarkana in a couple of weeks, maybe three, and of course there's nothing going on then......

Beautiful, and a nice history to the knife too. I've seen quite a number of the big gaucho-style integrals now, but not one with this blade size, so far. Its a style that really appeals to me. Jason.

Jason,
Thanks mate. I can't wait to see you give it a try! I have been looking at your posts for some time now and I think you can make a great integral line for yourself! Take a look at the tutorial on my website and if you have any questions write me or any of our guys. We will be happy to help! Coop, Congrats goes to everyone, but I am the smalest part of the group. I mean, all I do is show their wonders around.. they do the art after all. Roger, Thansk for the kind words, as usual your comments are greatly apreciated. |
