Romano knives from Brazil... examples in brazilian knifemaking art
Dear Friends,
My name is Ricardo Romano, I'm a full-time knifemaker in Brazil since 1995. Here are two of the most recently knives I made: The first knife is a sub-hilt model. ATS-34 blade, mirror polished blade, nickel-silver hilt and sub-hilt, ebony wood handle. The second knife is a skinner model knife. 440-C steel, mirror polished blade, stainless steel hilt and buttcap, handle: ebony and hypopothamus tusk.

Pretty cool stuff, Ricardo. About as polished and professional looking as it gets. That first one looks like a Barney/Loveless exact replica. Todd

The second looks like a replica of a Randall knife. Nicely made!

Thanks by all comments, friend. As a full-time knifemaker since 1995, I make knives that resembles the ones I loved before I became professional knifemaker, like Randall knives and Loveless as well. But I have my personal designs, as the knive below:
ATS-34 steel blade, 6-3/4" blade, brazilian wood jacaranda-da-bahia handle (Dalbergia nigra) and a leather sheath of my own manufacture. __________________ RICARDO ROMANO BERNARDES / RFA Romano Facas Artesanais (Romano Custom Knifemaking) Itajub?, MG - Brazil E-mail: cutromano@yahoo.com |
