Antonio Fogarizzu Utility Knife

September 7, 2007

Fogarizzu made but one mistake with this knife- the name.  This is more than a utility knife, this is a work of art.  Measuring almost a little over 7 inches, with a blade at about 3.1" long, this damascus bladed folder is a testament to the craftsmanship of Fogarizzu.  The blade has an oval patterned mosaic that is also extended to the blade.  This heat colored process gives this knife a mesmerizing look that will simply draws the eye like few other knives we have reviewed this past month.  the frame is titanium and the knife's mechanism is a lock back.

The knife is very representative of Antonio's particular style, which features innovative patterns and alluring design from mosaic damascus steel, for which he has become renowned.  Featured in knife publications and having been recognized as "Maestro" by the Italian Corporation of Master Bladesmiths, the Antonio has long proven his ability to bring precision craftsmanship and artistry together into innovative works of art.

We will no doubt be showcasing more of his stunning creations in the coming months.  We also hope to get an up close look at his blades and detailed work.
