    Default picture razor designs similar to fogarizzu's €10,000+ knives

    I would love to visit this artist's shop and observe his craft mastery for a spell. Astonishing levels of detail, patterns, etc. Suspect they operate quite well, too, although I'm not sure how many truly get used at such steep prices*.

    You can easily tell that the craftsmanship and attention to detail is off the charts.

    Beautiful work indeed.

    The gentleman appears to be a custom jeweler that happens to make knives to that quality, and then some!
    Did some individual folding knives without any of the fancy, the time spent is a lot more than one would thin!.
    More power to him, and the Aristos' that keep him in work.

    I sometimes see people like that at the Gemblou knife show.
    They do beautiful work, though those knives are not meant to be ever used.

    My thoughts too, Bruno. Display piece not made to be used.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Those are beautiful. I could probably put a dent in my student loan for what those cost.

    Yeah, I bet getting the tolerances right takes a lot of time. When custom knife makers start making frame locks and liner locks they are $$$$$$.
