Alex Salsi, Dream knives (lots of pics)

[deviant11]

Ok, I had another visit with my friend, Alex Salsi.

I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when he showed me the things he had been working on.

I let the pictures speak for themselves.

Please let me know what you think of them. He will be very happy to get some comments.


Alex makes all kind of styles, but just loves working with damascus, exotic woods, MOP, horn, Narval, oisic, ...

His bowies are just unbelievable. I’ve seen him use them, and I can tell you... It’s really quality stuff (no wall hangers here).

Sambar stagg handle, firecracker damasus (made by Achim Wirtz), blued mosaic damascus guard.

Old file transformed into something amazing

This knife was a gift to one of his knifemaking friends, Christophe

An old horse rasp. Leather sheat with bead work.

Beautifull Big Bowie.

Yes, that's his name in 18K gold.

You've got to see this to believe it. They don't come better than this!

BBQ time !

Some very fine folders.

Some work in progress...

More work in progress... I can't wait ...

WOW! Thanks for posting the eye candy, we can't have too much of that here. It's all beautiful, he has a great eye for proportion and style, but that old horse rasp really rings my bell! Really exceptional stuff, thanks again.

WOW! They're all beautiful, but I really like that horse rasp camp knife and beaded sheath. Great combo, and the rasp pattern on the blade is a nice touch.

Wonderful, splendid and marvellous pictures. Enjoyed them very much. Makes me want to cry what I don't have in my knife drawer.
