Knives and stones shop in Antalya, Turkey

[mozg31337]

Hello everyone,

I am currently in Antalya, Turkey for a few weeks and was wondering if there is a good shop in the city where I can buy some local and international natural sharpening stones? I am more interested in stones than knives as I have exhausted my knives limit for this year.

Many thanks

Don’t have much of an expectation when it comes to the local made production knives unfortunately, there are few decent handmade knifes that are bargain due to the conversion rates
For the stones I have a to check as I have a maker friend who that lives there and he may know better I do at this moment

Yes, I kind of expected for the local knives related produce to be very different from the Japanese blacksmiths. However, I have heard that there are a number of awesome local stones which are a bargain. I am more after those rather than the knives.

Cheers

You should be able to get your hands on a Cretan I imagine. No idea about where exactly, but should be available relatively easily I'd have thought...

Found two shops in Antalya that sell knives and stones. Managed to get myself a few Cretan stones at a silly prices.

I've posted a few more pictures of the stones in a different thread if anyone is interested.
