Hello!

Thanks for looking in and commenting, guys! Glad you did find something that appeals to you as well!

Stezann - the image host I am using for these snaps (Pbase) has had some problems these past days.

Here are a few more:

This is the latest one to arrive so far this year (today) - a great one by my friend Cristian Silva of Argentina. Cristian is currently doing a dog bone for me, but when I saw this one posted here, I just had to get it. Wonderful execution! Forged and clay tempered K990, Ivory, Ebony and silver wire:

Next are two additions to my sub-collection of folders by Kansei Matsuno (10 in total so far):

And in contrast, here's one I have been looking for for quite some time, a K5000 framelock folder by my old friend Farid Mehr. A K5000 was still missing in my Farid sub-collection, especially since I do own one of the K5000 minis allready. Finally found one this year. This one is for Rolf (chisel-time! ):

And for the fun of it:

Next is another folder. This time by the local knifemaker Bernd Hofbauer (Messerkönig). It is his Darkstalker model (BRD version this time):

And here go a few wonderful CAS pieces by my old friends:

Will try to finalize the singles this weekend.

All the best,
Alex
