International collections - Are you diverse?

[Thor I am]

Murray,
Who is the Canadian knifemaker? Those lines are beautiful!

Thanks,
Thor

That knife, Thor, is one I purchased 2 years ago at the Spring CKG show made by the daughter in law of Wolfegang Loerchner -- Barbara. For knives, she uses the name Lorchner.

She will be at the show this weekend but does not have anything available at this time nor does Wolfe.

The handle is Ivory. It is the 6th knife she has made.

Heavy on the Swedes. Three from Conny Persson, one from Andre Andersson, about four from Roger Bergh, and two from one of my new favorites, Mattias Styrefors.
Knives that are other than Swedes are one form Billy Burger in South Africa, and two from Mr. Bob Lay in Canada.
The rest are heavy on the Don Hansons, and a beaut from Jerry Lairson. Also a couple from Bill Ruple and Don Morrow. Finally, just the other day I found a fine little Case Stockman at a local antique store, from 1973. Cleaned up real nice.

8 custom knives from USA, but they all have elephant ivory handles from Africa. Does that count as being international?
