The work of Paul Champagne
The ARMA has up a new interview with Mr. Champagne that I thought was an interesting look at his philosophy and some of his knowledge and character as well. Seems like a nice gentlemen (seems to be a characteristic of all the truly good swordsmiths that I've met actually).

I was wondering though. Does anyone have any actual pictures of his work? I don't recall ever seeing any although by all accounts he turns out a very good product. I would be especially interested in seeing some of his Euro stuff.

There is one picture showing him holding a completed sword in the interview but it's impossible to make out any sort of details in the picture.
Wow... nothing... it's about what I expected but...

It would seem that Mr. Champagne doesn't need a web presence based on his not taking any orders for the next couple of years, but it's interesting that no one that owns his stuff has anything on the web either. It seems his work shall remain something of a mystery...
:lol:
Hey Russ,
Interesting interview, though,
This came up for sale a little while ago and sold,

Thanks Lee. I was hoping to see some of his European stuff too but so far no luck.
Nope me neither,
if i stumble across anything i'l update but from the review it doesnt sound as if we'll see any unless a forumite gets lucky,
Be nice to see ARMA show some :D hopefully :cool:
Pauls forge set up looks pretty cool in those pics,
Anyone know where Pauls pricing might be on the euro stuff as opposed to the japanese style work,?
I have heard about him as well and have always wondered what his work was like. I haven't really ever heard much of anything about it though. It looks nice. :)
