Good heavens, I don't think I can take anymore. This is museum quality beyond. Thanks for showing.
I am dieing to know what your full time job is. Must be jewelry or small parts related.
Beautiful.

Thank you Gary!
You would be surprised. My full time job has nothing to do with jewelry or anything similar. I am an Associate Professor at Fox Chase Cancer Center/Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Nobody is perfect. )
Jewelry is my passion and hobby.
 
I really enjoy your threads, Vlad! Very impressive work, from imagining to execution.

I would love to hear about your motivation behind this outside the box work! What drives you in the direction of these historically thematic pieces?
 
Hello Vladimir... Another fine example of your Renaissance Art Daggers...

Recently Vladimir made a dagger set for me to be used as mantle display pieces.. I was very happy the during the entire time... Start to finish.. He has many example pictures now in his image gallery to get ides from.. Each knife has a nice design "hook", some more than one, to get ideas for project knives like ours...

They also have ones for sale now and then... I think Bob B. came by his after an inquiry about a posted knife...

Vlad, these images are from the SBC session we emailed about....

Once again, your new dagger is sleek... The lighter shades of materials chosen, and brighter finishes also appeal to me....

Have a nice Sunday Vladimir...... Regards, Rich Slaughter

Thank you all!
I really appreciate your interest in my work and your kind support. This is what gives me the inspiration.
Sorry, I don't know what drives me in the direction of Crusader/Knight theme. I just like it. It's something I can't explain. Why some people like single malt and some blended Scotch? )
 
Rich, I'm loving this dagger. I was never a lover of "art knives" until I saw what Vlad was making, now I'm hooked on his work having bought two off him with another one in the making and no doubt more to come😀😀
