Hi Roman -

Beautifull!

Your knives and Damask are very beautiful, and your leather is crisp and beautiful as well!

I enjoyed looking at the pictures of your knives - your photography also serves you well.

I particularly love this knife:

I took time to examine how the pattern of the damascus is perfectly aligned down the spine, allowing a person to marvel at the way the pattern unfolds down the face of the grind.

Welcome to the Blade Forums!

best regards -
