It seems right to give some attention to less known European makers. Let me kick off with a couple. First of all I want to show some work of Martin Annegarn, a Dutch maker which is famous in The Netherlands for his fit & finish.
Another is Gudy van Poppel, also Dutch and well known for his artistic expressive work. A few samples...
From Bulgaria Mihail Kochev, known for his artistic approach and reuse of materials. Forges his own damascus.
