Now those are just really really nice! Looks very well made and they have a beautiful finish. I just visited Prague, nice place!

[PaulV]

Wow! Those are very clean. Nice lines, good use of handle material! I likes a lot ;)

[Bogflogger]

Yet again, very nice!

Say, wasn't he in LotR?

Both are very nice.
Nr 4 is my favourite with the forge finish.
Great stuff.

Mmmmm, they look very good, I'm with Danzo on this, I like scandis with bigger blades.

Yep, 5" seems to be a great size. Maybe too small for some, but they drive SUVs.

Brilliant. Looks great. Nice and tight fits by the looks of it.

Lovely work again. Particularly #4 - nice blade that you've complemented well. Excellent. :)

I can't add anything to the above comments, they say it all.

As nicer pair of Scandis as I have ever seen!!

[Jirka_CZ]

Thank you all for nice words.

As for good finish - it maybe looks so on pictures, but every time I take those two knives in my hands I can see all the little mistakes I've made :yuck:

As for blades - Petr is fairly good guy to deal with. Unfortunately his website (http://www.volny.cz/pdohnal) is in czech only so maybe direct link to gallery (http://www.volny.cz/pdohnal/galerie01.htm) and to available blades (http://www.volny.cz/pdohnal/cepelehotove.htm) would help.

[Treb]

I really like the 4th one, very nice combination of handle materials!
