Default Luxury knife

Hello friends:

I show some photos of my time when making knives in their entirety. I have already shown some of these knives in this forum. As I have shown these photos in a forum of cutlery, I take for display on this forum. There are some photos that are not quality, but others have been quite good and appreciated work.

When did these complex parts needed for pre-design, which took me a few days of work to clear my head of the project.

Thanks

Antonio

Hola amigos :

Muestro unas fotos de mi etapa cuando hacía cuchillos en su totalidad . Ya he mostrado algunos de estos cuchillos en este foro . Como he mostrado estas fotos en un foro de cuchillería ,aprovecho para mostrarlas en este foro . Hay algunas fotos que no son de calidad , pero otras han quedado bastante bien y se aprecia el trabajo .

Cuando hacía estas piezas complejas , necesitaba de un diseño previo , que me llevaba algunos días de trabajo para poder aclarar mis ideas del proyecto .

Gracias

Antonio

Hello Antonio, this is the most complex best executed knife I have ever seen.

Thanks for letting us see.

Antonio, what a beautifull knife, looks like it one for a King.
I already saw it earlyer I think, but not the design you made for it.

thank you for sharing this , arnaud

WOW it looks more like a beautiful piece of Architecture than a knife. Great work.

The work is wonderful but I like the drawing the best. How do you pierce steel with such exact detail?

Antonio,

The concept drawing is beautiful! BUT, the knife is exquisite! Is this a commissioned job or yours?
