The entire concept formed in my mind almost the moment I was getting back in the van that took us from Lung Som's.
Being almost totally incapable of woodworking, and not being a collector of antiques, while I admire them immensely, I have this
urge to input my own concepts to almost everything, be it contemporary sword mountings, or furniture or other areas of design.
As my incursion into the sword world became more consistent I have noticed a hybridation coming from the circulation of information.
The sequential transformation of the shape of a traditional bowie into a knife that incorporates different and alien materials to the original (damascus, shape, lack of guard, handle decoration) and so very often the display of the differential heat treatment.
It seems that we are somehow viewing the antiques of tomorrow, where the story will be different.
Any thoughts about his later issue? That's how I define design: conceiving today the past of tomorrow.
Very best to everyone
