A friend sent some images from the Russian knife exhibit. I was blown away by the quality of some items, in particular - quality and details of chiseling and inlay work. I must admit I never seen such superb new workmanship (India beware:-), see the last display with two kards with enamelled and shagreen'd mounts. Also, see a toolkit named "Young Inquisitor a.k.a Torturer", not sure what to make of it, perhaps a Russian way to grow a young generation of torture device collectors:-) ... New Knifes for Russians or Knifes for New Russians:-)
