Gorgeous work, I must add a horse hoof knife to my collection someday it's stunning.

I only discovered Giuseppe Galante’s work in May at Coutellia. But only after having burned through my budget for the show.

Last weekend his table was my first stop at the Gembloux show!

While waiting for me to take some photos of my knives I will post a few pics of his table from last weekend.

All's well that ends well. But we've been talking about him since ... 2021

Giuseppe is a great knife-maker, very imaginative and..... a gentleman

Oner of the knives made by Giuseppe Galante, I bought at Gembloux. a Skin, the blade is made from RWL34, the backspacing and the other parts from AISI 416, the scales are from horse hoof.

Sorry for the crappy pics. We didn't have a day of good light since I came back from Gembloux in my neck of the woods.....I will post better ones as soon as the sun will show again!

A "Logodurno" with scales made from mother of pearl.

Is there a function to the shape of the lower bolster, or is it just decorative??
