The lines of my knives are characterized by the fluidity of the blade and the curves of the handle. These last years the fascination for knives did not cease growing. The fusion of a blade with engravings or sculptures on the handle affirmed the manufacture of the knife as an art and thus became increasingly appreciated. Personally I think that the association of sculptures, engravings, scrimshaws etc... was exaggerated so much that one forgot the main part: the knife itself. But recently this tendency seems to have matured and becomes more reasonable and of better taste.
Today the art knife can be considered as a jewel when it reaches the perfection of the finish and the purity of the lines.
The future of the knife is in the preservation of its essence; cutting, simplicity and perfection. Because the collectors are becoming more and more informed and demanding, the development of the art knife can only follow this direction.
To finish I wish to repeat once again that two most significant qualities, which characterize a good knife, are: simplicity and perfection.
