Arpad Bojtos Custom Knife “Indian Buffalo Hunter” Featured in Dr. David Darom’s “Art and Design in Modern Custom Fixed Blade Knives” Semi Integral

Here is another masterpiece from Arpad Bojtos. This knife titled "Indian Buffalo Hunter" and was featured Dr. David Darom's "Art and Design in Modern Custom Fixed Blade Knives". To display the amount of work that goes into each of his knives, the following exert was taken from Dr. David Darom's book: "Arpad Bojtos doesn't like to use vices, so he uses the pitch-pan to hold the blade steady while carving. He first carefully plans the designs, and then draws them on the steel using felt-tip markers. A rough carving of the relief is made with hammer and chisels. The relief is then "cleaned" using files and scrapers, and Arpad proceeds to carve in the fine details. Finally the three-dimensional picture is cleaned out and finished using sandpaper and grinding pastes. After heat treating the steel, Arpad fixes the handle slabs to the knife with 14k gold pins. This knife deserves to be in a museum, not every day can you have an opportunity to add a museum quality art knife to your collection.
