DESCRIPTION
 
Frank Centofante, one of the pioneers in the custom knifemaking movement, passed away in September of 2009 before he could see this lockback design go into CRKT production. After a few moments of reflection, we decided to name the series the Centofante Tribute™.
 
The Tribute™ 2, Frank’s final production collaboration, is a fitting statement of simplicity and craftsmanship. It is basically a classic drop point lockback folder, with no gimmicks, no frills.
 
First, there is the 2.875″ drop point Razor-Sharp blade of premium 7Cr17MoV stainless steel in a satin finish. It basically has a high flat grind and a nail nick for opening. That’s it. No bumps or facets, just the cleanest and simplest shape possible, ground and finished by hand.
 
The 3.875″ open-build frame is simply two pieces of strong and also a lightweight Micarta®, layered in chestnut brown and black. There is the stainless steel lockback lever which forms the spine, and a stainless steel back spacer.
 
The result: Knives for gentlemen (or ladies) that are at home anywhere.
