Frank Centofante Folder MOP Lock Back File Work

This is a beautiful Frank Centofante folder with mother-of-pearl handles. This knife, a lock back is about 3 3/4 inches long when closed and about 6 1/2 inches long when the blade is open. The mark on the blade is the third one from Frank, it says: Centofante, Madisonville, TN. The blade is made of ATS-34, a favorite of Frank. The bolsters are stainless steel and when the blade is closed, it centers well and deep. Frank did file work on the liners, both top and bottom. This is a special knife that Frank made for me, he was trying to make a knife that would not rip out my pant pockets. If you look closely at the main bolster, you can see the bump out.
