OK, this is going to be pic intensive, so I'm gonna use smaller images in the thread and full sized versions would be available in the
album on flickr.
I'll start with some pretty impressive handle designs:
The light was pretty bad so most photos a dull and can't describe the beauty of those handles enough. Below are two knives that looks exceptionally in real life. I was afraid of touching them, cause they looked like museum showpiece
Yet I wouldn't buy such knives even if I could afford one. I would prefer something like this:
If wood on those handles looks familiar to you, then probably you've been browsing Burl Source lately. Those are Lee Lerman knives.
Mark, I've said hello to Lee and he was surprised and happy to hear it. He also said he loves your wood. Very nice person indeed.
Another one by Lee:
Now to some crazy looking blades:
As I've mentioned already, I spotted only two kitchen knives there. Here's one of them
Speaking about unusual knives, here we have a Dwarf blade:
And fancy handles
And a flowing tang
And the "Dragon tail".
That was probably the most strange knife I've seen. I've talked a bit with knife maker and he appeared to be very nice person. Seems like he was just having fun making this knife
But enough crazy knives. Lets talk about CRAZY knives now!
Knight's Chef knife:
If above is too fancy to be your zombi smasher, I've got another one here:
And here are 2 pictures of the knife I like the most on this exhibition:
Simple, elegant and wouldn't need rehandling. Ever
There are much more pictures
in my album on flickr .
