Start 2016

It's been a while since i last updated the blog,  i have been pretty busy with a lot of other things and didn't had so much time to forge as i wanted.
I did forge a couple of new knives with great satisfaction and hopefully i will have time soon to make more sharp things;)
The new website is online : http://www.kampmanknives.com/
At the moment i will not take on new custom orders cause i have to many knives for customers to finish and if you would like te get a custom knife from me i have to put you on a waiting list till this summer.
To get onthe list just write me an email to veryigor@hotmail.com and when the time is there i lett you know.
Thanx for watching, take care Igor Kampman

Keep on forging ahead.

Here some of my latest work.
It's to much info to tell of all the knives how i made them and with what materials,  i had a great production running lately and now i will have to take it a bit more easy.
Anyway if you want to know more about each knife you can also visit my Facebook page: Kampmanknives and you will find all the pictures of knives with info.
Also i finished a year's course 'Japanese sword forging'  at Smederij Atelier Alkmaar,  Dave van Wijngaarden learned me a lot of new skills what i put back in my knife work.
The first pictures are from my Japanese Ainu sword - Hira zukuri Naginata -  with a WIP  before the quenching of the sword and making of the habaki in red copper, and the result.
Have a look and hope you like it, cheers Igor.
