Hi guys (and girls) 
I am slowly preparing my table for the Paris SICAC show at the end of september. It will be my first knife show as a maker.
Here is a first batch of small wonderthings, as usual, made out of bamboo roots.
The first one, #139 is a remix. Ive already mounted this blade once this spring and later became dissatisfied with the handle. So I did a new one.
Blade is by Ben Cardoso, 70 mm with a temper line, 115w8 steel.
Here is a picture next to the knives of the original batch:
And lets see it in detail :
Next piece is with a blade by Sardinian maker Davide Steri, a 75 mm suminagashi sanmai with uhb20c, nickel and iron sides and an aogami edge. The shape is inspired by the traditional Sardinian Pattada knife blade. To me it also remind the shape of a bamboo leave.
Follow three blades by Cardoso, all in 11w8 steel with temper lines, in different shapes and sizes.
The treatment of the handles is in a more simple style than the ones above.
First knifes blade is 65mm long, acid and gun blue treated.
Blade 70 mm, acid etched to reveal the temper line.
Last blade is 70 mm as well.
Thanks for watching
