You're correct in that the GOM is not a Leverletto. I believe that the GOM tang stamp stands for "Giovanni Octavio Massaro". I'm sure that Bill could either confirm that or tell us what it does stand for.john wrote: ↑Sat May 30, 2020 9:12 pm Hi Chris,
After I saw my first one I was hoping I’d run into one at some point, but I haven’t yet. I think Natchetly has one too.
The GOM has no S guard/ears. I may be mistaken but that’s not a leverletto. Nevertheless, it’s a beautiful knife. I have several GOM’s they are very well-made.
Congratulations on your new knife.

I believe your correct, “I believe that the GOM tang stamp stands for "Giovanni Octavio Massaro", my only doubt is his first name. It may be Genaro.
Can any one confirm GOM’s first name?

Re: Kriss Leverletto
Yes Eric I remember that ! I think the dealer with the fake one didn't really know they were fake until I showed him the real one to compare to it!
