Emmanuel Esposito (Italy) asked me to post these pictures of
his amazing knife art. The photography and picture layouts
were done by Francesco Pachi (Italy).

ENJOY!!

All the best,

Here is one more picture he sent me. This is a Full Integral collaboration between
Emmanuel and the talented Israeli carving artist Vladimir Burkovski.
Here too, the photography is by Francesco Pachi (Italy)

All the best,

David, these are some exquisite knives. However I do have a question. I can see the part that Esposito and Wood played in this knife but I'm trying to figure out what Bennica did. Can you enlighten me? Thanks.

WOW!

All are amazing but the different mosaics done with the black-lip pearl are particularly eye catching to me....:cool:

Thanks you Gentlemen, all. :)
 
Exactly how does that carved knife fold?

The more I look at it, the more it looks to be an integral...
 
By now collectors are really catching onto the inescapable styling of Emmanuel's work. From the looks of his work above, He's including wonderful influences of Richard Hodgson, Jergen Steinau and Reinhard Tschager. That is a COMPLIMENT, not a slight in the least. :thumbup:

Francesco Pachi always does a great job, and he has his very recognizable style. (Don't we all?) I'm always ready to compliment other peoples good work.

Crazily, the trio of blacklip pearl knives are right here at my studio awaiting shipping back to a dealer close to the West Coast. I have my photographic version of the trio standing by as well. Nothing crazy. Beautiful knives steal the show on their own.

Thanks for the posts.

Here are 4 pages of the 7 that display Emmanuel Esposito's knives
in my new book "The World of Art Knives".
These pages are a small part of Dr. Pierluigi Peroni's custom knife collection
that is exhibited in the book.

In this case, the original RAW pictures were taken by Francesco Pachi
for me to later rearranged and redesigned the final pages as seen here.

All the best,

Incredible display of bulino, design and craftsmanship!

I had the opportunity to handle some Emmanuel Esposito knives and the fit and finish is absolutely flawless. Mind boggling even.

Thanks David.
