Hello everyone. I would like to show you some of the works from this year. I tried to change the chaos of the last months into more detailed work. Did I do it right? A few works are in your hands, maybe someone will write a few words. I will be grateful. Greetings Tomek.

Very attractive work, the detailed sculpting and inlays are impressive, the blades with their fullers must be very difficult to do so cleanly when just one slip when working could ruin the clean lines ..... I'm seriously impressed.

Oh, and the leather and scabbard work and decorations bring this work into being real art.

The decorations are also not overdone, so there is contrast between plain surfaces and decorative highlights, this looks better in my opinion than wall to wall decoration because the contrast between clean lines and the decorations make each highlight the other.

TK, you and your exceptionally well executed work are one of the few reasons I still
check in at this forum ...

I've run out of descriptive words worthy of discussing the detail, finesse, and historical
accuracy of what you show us. Each aspect is a complement to the work, effort, quality,
and highest personal standards you put into every saber I've seen over the years ...

What's more, I'm willing to bet any praise, complements, and discussion from onlookers
like myself probably falls WAY short of the conversations you must have inside your own
head about the construction and appearance of every piece.

These sabers look like they could have popped straight out of a contemporary painting of Stefan Bathory or Jan Sobieski, or one of their nobility or generals. Amazing that we still have artistic craftsmen who can capture those traditions in metal and wood.

Wow, amazing! Those sabers with the wooden handles floored me.

My dzia dzia brought one back with I believe a brass handle that looked similar in style. Unfortunately my cousin has it these days and he's quite far away...would love to get a better look at that now.

I am very pleased, thank you.
I hope that the next works will surprise you.
I don't want to bore anyone with the same patterns all the time.
I am already gathering the appropriate materials for the tools with which I will be able to make the old technique used in the manufacture of sabers.
It is inside of me, but I still have to learn a little.
Greetings Tomek
