The show took place two weeks ago. As usual, I looked forward to attend. This year's show was a bit dissapointing, at least for me.
The show took place in a different location, which looks old and ugly. The light was very bad. Another thing that surprised me was the quality of the knives. There were very good knives (like the ones in the pictures I will add here) but they didn't represent the majority of the exposed knives. There were also too many badly finished knives that had nothing to do in an international show. The overall quality was lower than in the past years.
I made some pictutres of a few beautiful knives. I apologise in advance for their quality, the light was bad and I choosed not to use a flash.
A beautiful colored damascus fixed blade, unfortunately I don't remember the name of he maker.
Scagel style fixed blades by Bruno Duffort.
Various knives by Gert Van Den Elsen. Entirely handmade, beautiful design, fit and finish.
This is Gert.
Friction folder by Ricardo Ciachera. Beautiful and well made.
Three Loveless knives on a japanese dealer's table. I enjoyed playing with them but the prices were ... high.
