Les and others,
I attended a knife show in Milan, Italy last December and met many makers I had met before, and many new ones. One American there, one Canadian, and many Europeans. I visited Franceso and Mirella Pachi at their home and shop and shot the shop pictures. All the knife photos, including the cover, are by Pachi. He was a photographer for magazines like National Geographic for years, and his wife worked for an advertising agency for years, so they are both talented. They were both in New York for the recent show. Their work is very, very good. I can promise you won't find scratches in his mirror polishes, gaps in the guards, and such. No Bull, just nice knives.
Les, if your mag doesn't arrive by Tuesday, let me know and I'll send one out. I'm leaving on Friday for Solvang. Bud
