Montejano collaboration

I am extremely pleased with the work my friend Antonio did on these two knives. It is a project we have had in the works for over a year, but it all came to fruition in the last month or so.

The piece with the black lip mother of pearl is etched with a romantic motif, and the white mother of pearl piece with a renaissance motif. These are keepers.

Thumbs up Even better!

It's hard to improve on one of your knives, Don. Montejano and his skills really made a BIG impression.

Congrats on such fine collaboration!

Hermoso trabajo, Don y Montejano. Saludos para todos.
He estado ausente del forum durante unas semanas, preparando mi segundo viaje a USA, pero cuando pueda os enviare fotos de mi ultimo trabajo.
Actualmente estoy en Michigan en el estudio de Christian Decamillis, trabajando y adquiriendo mas experiencia. Estare aqui hasta finales de septiembre.

Don, quizas pueda hacerte una visita. Si te parece bien, puedes enviarme tu direccion a:
