Re: Gentlemens Folder Suggestion....Centofante Memory feedback?
I just opened the box that DLT sent me. Two nice specimens of the Centofante Memory. I think they will work. I was worried they would be too heavy as I'm used to the heft of the similar sized stainless Delica model. That thing feels like an anchor sometimes. I'm glad the Memory is titanium. It does not feel overly heavy for its size. I still think a jigged bone or other inlay Kopa would have been best but I'm happy with the Memory as that is what was available. I'm glad I didn't open up the box and start feeling buyers remorse. Luckily, I had the opposite feeling. And I'm glad this knife is considerably different than all the other knives I own.

Great name BTW. One of my favourite SNL skits of all time. Phil Hartman was funnier than Dana Carvey in that IMO. Priceless facial expressions. :D

Haha, you’re welcome, brother. Like Paul, it checks a lot of my “don’t like” boxes, but dang if it isn’t one of the best all round knives I own.bh49 wrote:I bought it only due to peer pressure from Ken.
As another suggestion, if you need to keep looking Lil’Nilakka. It’s my “church” knife. Small. Pretty light. Very attractive, IMO. I wouldn’t want it to be a regular duty knife but as a dress carry it’s terrific

Haha! You’ve got me there, my friend. :o Ever since I turned 35, I guess I’ve just gotten weaker (and a bit whinier). :pbh49 wrote:Heavy side? Seriously? For gentleman like you? Can you, please refresh my memory, you are this tiny, small guy, who is only only 6' 4" right? :DSpyderNut wrote:The only minor thing I’d mention is that it is a bit on the heavy side.

My dress up knife is the sprint run squeak in titanium and elmax. deep carry clip ,very thin, very light and very legal just about anywhere. Certainly not a full grip knife but great ergos and design allow for a confident and controllable user experience. Would be easy to evgrave
or personalize if giving as a gift. discontinued now but still availabe for a great price if you look around a bit.
Congrats !

+1. Great steel and ergonomics, top end finish, plus even your granny wouldn't feel threatened by it!idubodywork wrote:My dress up knife is the sprint run squeak in titanium and elmax. deep carry clip ,very thin, very light and very legal just about anywhere.

Beautiful fit and finish and opens smooth as silk. I carry mine to every dress-up occasion.
