Gudy Van Poppel (Dutch custom knifemaker)

[deovolens]

After my hommage to Ales Salsi I present you this hand-forged fighter made by Gudy Van Poppel.
Made from the steel of a russian artillery barrel which is a very hard to forge material. The grip is made of cocobolo wood and a hilt is made of old renn-eisen.

I like that one real well....

That's a really good looking knife, but once again, a larger image would be nice.
