A big hello from Italy!

[trentinistefano]

Hi to everybody, my name is Stefano, I am 53 years old and I am a motorcycles-mechanic that practises the hobby of the cutlery since 1988 and that of the photo from the years 70. Single and perfectionist, I am firmly convinced that a blade is not an "accessory of the handle", my works are all one-of-a-kinds and totally hand made, sheaths and stands included, good vision!

ST #318 = t.l. 340 mm, b, 228 x 5 mm, stainless damascus "Odins eye" + filework, fittings are stainless damascus "Twist", handle is Amboina burl.

ST #359 = t.l. 288 mm, b. 165 x 5 mm, 440C mirror finished, tempered personally to 60 HRC, fittings are blued brass, handle and sheath are Thuia burl.

ST #372 = t.l. 235 mm, b. 111 x 5 mm, 440C mirror finished, tempered personally to 60 HRC, scales are ivory.

ST #375 = t.l. 350 mm, b. 215 x 7 mm, 440C mirror finished, tempered personally to 60 HRC, fittings are 416, handle is ebony.

ST #378 = t.l. 315 mm, b. 185 x 7 mm, 440C tempered personally to 60 HRC, belt finished and "as it goes out of the oven".

Hello!

Impressive work! I wouldn't dare pick and choose, but ... the daggers are magnificent, and the Saca Tripas is pretty sharp, too.

Grazie per i complimenti! Dipende dalle dimensioni, due o tre in un mese oppure uno solo (come il 375, oltre 250 ore, tutti i fornimenti li ho ricavati dal pieno con lime e carte abrasive). Sì, lavoro nel mio piccolo "laboratorio" sotto casa (gli amici lo chiamano "Loculo" perché è di 147 x 151 cm, te ne allego una foto). Se vuoi vedere altre foto, puoi andare qui: www.trentinistefano.it A volte, ne cedo qualcuno, ma solo qui in Italia perché sono un hobbyista. Sei Italiano? Ciao amico

I would like to put my avatar, but I don't succeed there; could you be so kind to explain me the "how to do it"? Thank you, best regards, Stefano

Ciao Stefano! thanks again for the additional picture of your lab! i'll keep writing in english so that all others forum-mates here can undestand and eventually join in. Yes i was born in Milano and i settled down here in portland OR with my wife a few years ago. i couldn't resist dropping down a few lines in Italian. I don't have many occasions to write in italian around here.
Nice website! i also like photography & (obviously) knives and i used to work for a big stock photo agency in Milano.

Keep up the great work! really impressive!

I was going to point you to the normal procedure when I realized we have a different one for non-US customers. Going to that link, I'm not sure if it's up-to-date, so ... I will have to get back to you later today.

I've been up all night (nothing unusual!) but senior management isn't up yet for me to ask, I think. :d

Beautiful work Stefano. Too bad you don't live nearby as I would bet you are a superb mechanic as well. I could use a good motorcycle mechanic and would like to see those knives in person.

Thanks for showing them,
Peter
