16. These two are very interesting! Gabalin knives aka Giymiakesh (Azerbaidjan style) by Ukrainian blacksmith Sergey Buyniak. 260mm and 700 gramms each one. So brutal! )) Here's a link how to use them - [video=youtube;ljjS8XcCKQg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljjS8XcCKQg[/video]







17. My first kitchen kit - it all stared about 11 years ago. Arcos knives - still pretty nice!



18. And my picnic kit - always use Opinel knives - love them! From the top - #15 filleting, #12, #8, #10 Steak knife, #6

Those knives in #16 make me think of elf shoes . . .

wow!!! now I gotta buy one of your gorgeous knives, for sure! ))

Very nice to see all your knives. Yes, also loved seeing the Pchak and the Azerbaijani pair. Very unique, at least on this forum. What in the world is that curly tip part for!?! (Had no idea Tsourkan was Ukranian. Not American then?)

The sounds the gabalin knives make remind me of a Ton Waits song.

You can visit me in Lviv sometime next year. I will have a workshop there. )))

It's so rare to see something different (or something that I haven't seen yet) in kitchen/butcher knives. Thanks for posting & welcome to KKF.
