Blue Centofante Question?
I had a quick question I hope someone can answer. Did the Blue Centofante come with a Blue Krayton (soft) inlay in the scales? One of the Gun stores I frequent has one for 100.00 but it looks kind of hoakie (not original). The reason I ask is next to it is a Worker that is all black and it looks like someone just dipped the whole knife in black nitride. It doesn't look "factory" if you know what I mean.

G'day 'Daddy,
The blue Centofante's does indeed have a blue insert but it's made from Santoprene rather than Kraton. There aren't too many of these around so I'd snap it up. I got one from Milarm a couple of months ago and it's one of my favourite EDC's (along with my grey Centofante).

Good find, Hoosierdaddy.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
I had a G50 Centofante once, and I loved it! ( Had to return it due to a faulty lock. ) I have another one on order, I'm just waiting for it to come in.
BTW, does this place have any more of these available?
Thanks,
Spydernut

Its definitely a C25. The C50 is a larger knife and was not designed in the aluminum handles, only the G10 which came later in the Centofante II.
The aluminum came in the blue, green and a gray aluminum with black Santoprene(sic) rubber insert.
I love the model as you can see. I got another blue one since that you can see in the second shot. No plainedge yet...... Where did you say that one is at????? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Crap... image posting is down again......
Later..............maybe

I thought the "green" was the same grey aluminium but with a green insert. Am I mistaken? (Not the first time <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>).
BTW The "blue" is my favourite.

Clay...
I am trying to post a pic of the green(Grrrr) Yeah its grey aluminum/green rubber inserts.
dePaul...
I am lucky indeed to live here, for many reasons. Poor Clay on the other hand has to stand on his head to get one of these delivered(living down-under as it were) <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Disguised as a responsible adult.

Hoosier, trust your gut instinct on a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s autheniticity. A fake <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> is kind of like an inbred cat- They kind of look proper, but something just isn't right about them. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

RAOFLMAO Chinook <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I guess all that blood running to my head at least partly explains my behaviour. The rest I put down to old age <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.
Paul, I found the secret to picking up these unusual <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>'s is to get the mob here searching for them for you. Of course you've got to offer a reward that they can't resist, like a kangaroo scrotum <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

Great pix chinook ; my C25's even in there!
Get this : I was on Bladeforums.com and got the opportunity to use one of these early
Centofante's in blue as a "pass around" ( I'm
#3 on the list ). I'll report my finding on this & Bladeforums after I complete my T&E.
( I'll e-mail Sal on this too!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> )
ATE <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I just picked up a blue. I'd like the green and gray? If you know where I may find one to buy or trade let me know.
