kept2longDescriptionThis is an authentic Coltellerie Lepre “Millenario di Maniago” Limited Edition folding knife, produced in 1981 to commemorate 1000 years of Maniago’s knife‑making tradition. Only 1,000 pieces were made, each individually serialized. This example is #423/1000.
A notable historical detail: knife #0001 was formally presented to Pope John Paul II in 1981, underscoring the cultural significance of the commemorative series and its importance within Italian craftsmanship.
The knife features a bone handle with engraved artwork and a polished stainless blade. The fit and finish reflect Lepre’s traditional high‑quality production. The knife has been well‑preserved, showing only light signs of age consistent with careful display.
