Dionatam Franco JS - Interview (in Portuguese)

[coldsteelburns]

Here is a relatively new video from last month that I just stumbled across on YouTube while watching some forging vids in the Portuguese section. It kinda sucks that I can't understand what they are saying since I don't speak the language, but there are some great shots showing his beautiful work, and the crazy chatoyancy of his damascus! I just thought I might share it here for anybody else who might be interested in watching it. (That confederate Bowie is insane!!! )

*Just happened to also find this video in the recommended section after watching the above, which shows some footage and knives from the "International Cutlery Show 2017", including some more close ups of a few of those same blades by Franco and a number of other bladesmiths.

I don't speak Portuguese but I understood most of what he was saying. I think the banner at the bottom said "rare knives can cost as much as $8,000". If that was American TV he'd get 2.5 minutes to talk about his knives.
