Elvan Allred Custom Knife: Goldlip Lockback Engraved by Dr. Fred Carter
Elvan Allred has been making knives since 1991. Recently he has made a resurgence to the custom knife limelight.
Elvan Allred is a student of Art Knife Invitational Member Dr. Fred Carter. This knife is very rare for Dr Fred Carter does not engrave anything except his own work, but did this for an old friend and student of his Elvan Allred.
Elvan Allred's work is meticulous and his fit and finish reminds me of Scott Sawby's, for you can not see where the spine and blade meet when the knife is in the open postion. This knife has been featured in Blade Magazine, Knife World and now is being offered for sale here.
