Newest Antonio Contini
My third Antonio Contini masterpiece arrived from Sardinia today (the dark horn in the middle) and I could not be happier. Mr. Contini is truly a master of his craft. I’m expecting my fourth A.C. within the next few days. Never a problem ordering a blade from this gentleman. (My fourth is pictured in the comments) Happy collecting, y’all.

Mistakes are like knives. They can help us or they can hurt us. It all depends on whether we grab ‘em by the handle or by the blade.

My fourth should be arriving in a few days. I highly recommend this cutlery master.

Thank you, Guys.

Re: Newest Antonio Contini
So they are 9", 11" and 13"?
Also I noticed on the dark horn one that it has what looks like a washer below one of the pins. Wonder what that is about?
Might be some sort of enhancement?
It does not effect the beauty at all. Probably makes it stronger.
They are AWESOME knives.

Re: Newest Antonio Contini
You have a good eye, Thom. I’ll give the dark horned one a closer look tomorrow and will report back. I have two more of Mr. Contini’s builds en route from Sardinia. One is a 45cm (18”) beast and the other is a light horned 13 incher. I’ll post pictures when they arrive.

Re: Newest Antonio Contini
That last pic looks like he is trying to bribe the customs guy with a real lousy bribe.
The lockbacks are new. I don't think I have seen any of his stuff with those before. And he's getting way better at aging the metal.

JimBrown257, yep, that would be a pretty lousy bribe. LOL Antonio’s blades are definitely addictive.
