Thought that some of you may be interested in hearing about this guy.

We have earlier shown some of his knives here but i have just received these pictures from him regarding blades that are currently for sale.

A5 and A9 are unfortunately off the market since the time of receiving the mail.

Interesting blade design. could make for a very interesting knife too.

I have a shaft design in mind for one of these type blade.... but not right now, so much to do, so many nice blades..... and like us all.. too little cash..

Now where is that kidney....:dunno:

I have beene admiering Michaels work for many years now, and i sinsearly think he has one of the most interesting knifedesigns around. As i have actually held quite a few of his knives in my hand, i can say that his fit and finnish are out of this world!

Year Michael is Danish. He lives about 40min.īs drive from me.
Denmark has this "tiny" problen that we really donīt have a tradition for Scandinavian knife design. We live in the shadows of the Swedish and Norvegian tradition. We havenīt got a real old Danish "look". Jens Ansø and Michael West are actually doing designs that I consider to be our best!!
