February 18, 20197 yr 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?
February 18, 20197 yr Author Tomas, That was how I was reading the makers mark. FPD . Is that a name or mark you are familiar with?
February 18, 20197 yr 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.
February 18, 20197 yr Author Tomas, Thanks, I will put my question out on one of the blade websites. If anyone else out thier has some more info please pass it on.
February 18, 20197 yr Author When looking at this mark it could also be fjd. Any thoughts out there? Aaron
February 18, 20197 yr Author 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.
