It's time to call it a day. Unfortunately, I don't have the time nor the money to continue the European knife magazine project, and I haven't been able to find anyone else who wants to take it on.

The magazine, domain name, and Facebook and Instagram accounts are for sale. Anyone interested can send an email to bas@europeanblades.com. I hereby want to thank all the people, museums, knife shows and companies that have contributed to European Blades, one way or another – especially the very special artisans/artists throughout Europe, who strive to keep an ancient craft alive, with love, craftmanship and often astonishing results.

Keep up the good work!
