Fredde10 Goes to Italy "My time in Maniago was not spent collecting history. I already new SOI cover to cover. Instead I wanted to meet everyone I could and take photos. I wanted all of us at the forum to be able to put a face with the name. I also wanted to take some video of how these guys work. I had two contacts in Maniago. These were Internet friendships that started because of Sharperdeals auction site. I’m sure you all recognize or know Angelo Campolin (Jr.), and Lucio DiBon. Lucio will be a separate post. He owns (Jointly with Danilo Centazzo) the shop that produces scales and handles. Most of you know, Maniago is the perfect description of a “cottage industry”. Each shop produces a specific product for knives. One produces blades, another handles, and so on. Then there are the shops that we know, who assemble the knives. A phone call to Angelo set up a meeting for 12:30, which left me enough time to go to Frank Beltrame’s shop............. Lets start the Journey by clicking the picture on the right . "
