The E-show, part 4

In the fourth part of our digital knife show we continue our virtual tour through Europe, with knife makers from the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Slovakia and Italy. The knives are beautiful, but the number of entries is a bit disappointing. So again, if you are a knife maker from Europe and you have not presented one of your recent knives here, send us one or two pictures and a brief description. We will be happy to show your work to a world-wide audience!
