Josef Rusnak - SeaWorld - Art knife

Incredible artwork and skills.

Some makers have the same amazing skills but focus them just on the art. I can appreciate how you created some high end art but didn't lose sight of the functionality. These knives exhibit true artwork but also look totally usable and even comfortable in the hand at that.

Well done. Thanks for showing.
 
Thank all of you for this nice words. I am pleased. I emphasize to functionality of the knives but I want to make something different. I like when the knive has some story, i don't want to only "decorate" the knife, I want that knife stimulate the imagination and fantasy.
 
Hello, this is another one of mine work.

Incredible piece of work, love it. Fantastic blend of materials and texture, and that stand is excellent. If you don,t mind me asking, about how many hours in this knife?
Stunning piece of art, thanks for the pictures.

Just.... WOW!
 
Upon a cursory browse earlier my mind said to me: "Pfft, that has to be CGI..."

And then a short time later I said out loud: "OMFG!! THAT STUFF IS ACTUALLY REAL!!"
 
Thank all of you very much for your nice words.

Doug: I don't know exactly how many hours I did this knife. I have unfinished more knives simultaneously and I finish them gradually during the year.

Salem Straub: nothing to worry about, I have similar feelings when I look at the knives of known knifemakers.

Coop: Thank you very much for your words here, also for the photos you put here and for your great work you are doing in the knife world too.
 
I never was a big fan of art knives....but these pieces are fantastic!!! You got some amazing artistic skills!
 
Josef.... Your Sea World knife is quite captivating. I have seen other knives of yours that I like.
Do you have a website where I could see more? Thanks very much Steve
 
Likely besides the latest images that Coop has provided, folks may have seen the images of 3 knives in our collection made by Josef that we have had for a number of years.

The one on the stand is simply outstanding. Might not want to try to hold in the hand but boy would it look nice to display.

Thanks for showing these great knives Josef and Coop. Me? I love Art Knives!!!
