Hey Brian from the land down under.......

[Mike Turber]

At the last Art Knife show here in Florida I got a chance to meet with Paul Maffi (I think I got that right). He is from Sydney and makes some real far out knives. The sword he made looks like someting out of a space movie. Have you seen his work? And does he have a web site?

I will post pics when I get a chance.

No, not familiar with him....Living in "the Bush" I am not plugged into the Oz knife scene. Actually, my interest in custom stuff is pretty casual.
But, if he is the bloke featured in "BLADE" a few months back, he does a great sword. At least, I think it was "Blade"...I have been going back through all the recent knife rags but have not, yet, found the correct one.
Maybe someone else has a better filing system ??
But I will make some enquiries, anyway.

My opinions are based on information available to me. Don't attack my opinions....give me more information.

Have only seen the article in Blade, but there seems to be a growing group of knowledgable folks who like his work.

Mike,

Was that the incredible mirror polished 4 foot sword with several locking blades on the guards and hilt?

If I remember correctly, he was asking $48,000USD. We were joking about comparing the price of his sword to a new BMW!

It was the most memorable blade at a show that had many memorable blades.
