Hello!

This is the typical Guido Ottavio Massaro tang stamp: those knives were indeed sold by SKM as well. By the way, Ottavio is the current working knifemaker.

Cheers,
Michele.

Ciao Michele,
It's an excellent knife. I have others that have no stamp that look like Guido's workmanship.
Please tell Guido that he makes fabulous knives.

Hello!

I will indeed tell Ottavio: Guido was his father. :-)

I didn't know that Guido is retired. I hope he's well and enjoying his retirement. It's wonderful that his son has taken over where his dad left off. The excellent craftsmanship we're accustomed to well continue for years to come.
