I would like to share pics of some outstanding slipjoints by Ryuichi Kawamura from Japan. His work is just amazing!
Here is the link to the gallery of his homepage. It's not possible to post just the one I like best because this URL is the whole gallery at once (not each pic separate).
But I think it doesn't hurt to look at ALL these beauties

BTW, I could manage to arrange a shop tour with Mr Kawamura at his shop in Tokyo. Will be staying for three weeks in Japan for visiting with my wife's family. Thought that would be a great chance to see how a full-time maker is working.
Maybe some of you might know, Mr Kawamura was at this year's BLADE SHOW as an exhibitor! Guess not the last time...
