Aaron Gouge Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hey all, We had a family get together this weekend and I brought a few knives that I recently finished. While sitting around with family my father brought out a custom knife my grandfather gave him in the early 80’s. Grandpa worked in Detriot at a specialized metal supply house. One of the cliants was a knife maker who Grandpa bought this particular knife from. Wonder if any of you could help me to identify the maker?

ThomasPowers Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Could that be a fpd knife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Gouge Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Tomas, That was how I was reading the makers mark. FPD . Is that a name or mark you are familiar with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Only with regards to Farriers' knives where the fpd brand is well known. I think some of the blade focused websites have maker's marks and might be a better place than here to hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Gouge Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 When looking at this mark it could also be fjd. Any thoughts out there? Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Gouge Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 So after posting on a knife forum i was told this is a Frank J. Dilluvio knife. It seems he used this mark early in his knife making career before switching to his first initial and last name. So mystery solved. Thanks all.
