I was amazed to see that France has as many custom knife makers as the rest of Europe combined.

This country has become more about sub-groups than about it's unity as a nation.

There are a great many names missing from that list and Pat Mitchell has been dead for years I'm sad to say. Her son Stuart is one of the finest knife makers in England however.
I measure my collection by the ton.

Re: List of European Custom Knife Maker's Web Sites
Having gone through all the sites (at a quick pace) it was interesting to see so many unique and creative variations. Among many, four that jumped out were "Bulgaria - Knives Bulgaria", "France - Charlie Bennica", "Slovakia - Bojtos Aprad", and "Sweden - Roger Bergh". Thanks for posting these and well worth the tour.

Re: List of European Custom Knife Maker's Web Sites
this site is not very up to date. lot of "custom french maker" referenced are only shop. there is no knife guild, no knife maker association in france so it's difficult to know exactly the real number
this link http://metal-connexion.fr/carte/coutell ... telier.php is better but there is shop too.
