Two of today’s most remarkable blade smiths are Ralf Hoffmann & Sabine Piper. Their knives are fantastic creations, knives and sculptures in one, with Damascus blades of tested craftsmanship. Although they certainly also produce conventional knives of linear design, where handles become layers of graphic form, it is the fabulous sculptural knives which are associated with the name of Ralf Hoffmann, under which they both work. The knives are not only distinguished by their craftsmanship and high quality. They are also unique in their motifs and their feeling for form.
With Hoffmann’s instinctive natural talents, the skilled goldsmith with his subsequent fascination for traditional Japanese techniques, and later acquisition of damascene steel techniques, guided him to his métier in pursuit of their quintessence, making him one of the world’s most sort after blade smiths.
The Prices are unknown, but these pieces of art are precious and worth spending your money on, despite the fact that some of these are not practically usable.
