Knifemaking enthusiast from West Balcans...

Well guys I'm a member of another (local West Balcans) forum... It's more of bushcraft orientation, but there some edged tools makers whos work I think is worth seeing. They don't have cutting edge workshops, they do it with very limited equipment, tools and steel selection.... It's all on native languages, but pics are worth more than 1000 words... Enjoy....

There are some excellent traditional-look knives there mate.  Those guys must have the skills to pay the bills.

I think my favourite is the first knife in the first link, but they are all cool.

That one is my favorite too, guy who made it let me play with it for a bit, and although it is small, it's very handy and I asked him to made one for me.

As a craftmanship I like the tiny folder... That guy have made even smaller one and scissors that work but can fit them comfortably on fingernail... Just can't remember where are the pics of that, I must ask vlada035 to help me find them....

I like the last one in the first link best, as it looks a good woodsman's tool

I played a little with almost every knife on these links, amazing works there.
