Jmercier Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoz Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 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. Regards, Makoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
