Hello everyone.
My name is Bernard Górny and I'm a knifemaker form Poland. I've been making them ro a few years now and I've come a preety long way. I would like to share some of my works here with you.

First one is a Bovie knife from few years ago:

This is superb!! Interestingly, I currently have a couple of mated knives from Tom Ferry long ago which are now with another local (close anyway) maker who will be soon working on a sheath for both knives like you have done. We are still discussing just exactly what is to be done depending upon material availability. The knife design and carved sheath are just wonderful.

Very nice!

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

This stunning piece is made of mostly mosaic damascuss and on the handle I've used mamooth's tooth.

I want to show you the knife that I made for my dearest friend's 40th birthday. Main inspiration was, so called "Polish Bandit Knife". Despite It's odd shape, it's very ergonomic. That type of knife mostly appeared in Karpaty region but it's often associated with whole Poland. I hope you'll like it as I do.

Next one is a big hunting knife I made some time ago made from "dragon skin" damascuss.

They all look great but that first bowie to me is stellar.

I've decided to make a damascuss blade where stripes concentrate in the middle. The contrast really makes the pattern shine. Next project will be preety familiar but with that diffirence that it will be more irregular.

The fruit of cooperation between Polish S.P.A.K members. Project made by Master Krzysztof Panas, Blade made by Remigiusz Pacer. Handle, dace and sheath made by me

Knife - "Spirograph with Wootz"
Really difficult to make, mix of wootz and mosaic Damascus. The challenge was the forging temperature difference of both steels.
