I love the recurve in the bowie, and i've always liked the look of roping on the spine of a blade.

Very nice knives, hopefully I'll be able to make them like that by the time I'm up to that many made.

For a "hobbyist" I am awed. Thank you for posting!!

Very, very nice work! The workmanship on them looks top notch.

Hello Stefano,
Beautiful work on both knives! I just spent some time looking through your amazing website, and the collection of "cutlery" is astounding. And now I understand a bit more about the photography of your knives...two artforms come together.

Hello Makoz, thank you very much! Very happy to have met your tastes, I also thank you for your understanding. With my best regards, cordially, Stefano :)

Great looking knives Stefano! I checked out you web site. I also was looking at Venice on google maps. Seems like an amazing place, i cant imagine living there. Do you live right on the island?

Thank you very much Feukair! I live in a little island (total lenght 12 KM) just in front of Venice, 10-15 minutes to go there, its name is Lido di Venezia and it is the official beach of Venice hi, Stefano :)
