If you move in custom knife industry circles and/or
attend knife shows you will have heard of Frank Centofante. In addition
to being a celebrated and longtime custom knifemaker Frank is a past
President of the Knifemaker's Guild, a strong voice in the cutlery world
and a revered and respected craftsman. Collaborating on knife designs
with him is something Spyderco has been fortunate enough to do several
times. Our latest offering is the Centofante III gentleman's folder.
The Centofante III has a thin-profiled, lightweight FRN handle. Two
channels are furrowed out of the handle for better grip and a Palladium
silver Spyderco bug is inlayed into its surface. For added security and
convenience the back-lock is positioned midway on the spine and David
Boye Dent is cut from the locking lever. The VG-10 blade has both a
hollow-grind and swedge-grind with non-sharpened spine serrations to
hold the thumb steady when cutting. A black steel pocket clip positions
for tip-up/down, right-hand carry.
3.13 in blade of VG-10 steel, 4.43 in. black handle of
FRN. Inlcudes pocket clip. Made in Golden Co. plant.
