A friend of mine has ordered a traditional cretan bichaq knife to a knife maker here and it is almost ready!
But he wants also to create a gold inlay design and inscription on the blade and there is no such craftsman arround here.
Do you know anybody that is doing such a job? He is willing to send it overseas to be done.
Thanks!

I think there is a number of such designers in Iran, probably someone from the surrounding area (Manoucher or Erikhan) can be of assistance.

There is a very good niello/goldwork Adighe master, Astya Arzich. I don't like her work (imgo garish and untraditional), but she is quite famous.
