This Custom Folding Knife, a gentlemen's liner lock, is a special piece.
It was purchased from Frank J. Dilluvio by me in around 2000.
Frank Dilluvio has been making great custom folding knives for over
25 years and is a long time voting member of the Knifemakers Guild.
I say it's special because, although Mr Dilluvio does still make custom knives
on occaision, finding one in this style, especially with file work to this
extent, will be likely impossible, unless you find someone else selling one of
his knives from a while back.
The other thing I love about this little liner lock is its size to function ratio.
Its so compact and light weight that it will slip down into your shirt pocket
and you'll soon forget it's even there. On the other hand, it's strong and
sharp enough to take care of just about all the tasks one would expect to
accomplish with a knife of this type.
Franks eye for detail coupled with his ability to discern between quality
and super-quality materials (Note the unmistakable Eggerling Damascus
and presentation grade M.O.P.) make for one sweet folding knife.
