The gun owner requested a personalized engraving discretely integrating his initials into the design. The acanthus leaves are the core of this floral pattern which has been inspired by the Oriental architecture ornaments. These leaves were engraved at 0.6 mm in order to give depth and relief to the finished work. |
KNIVES AND DAGGERS

Frederic Krill was inspired by one of Peter Hoffer’s engraving works in the making of this ivory handled knife. This limited surface has been utilised in the best possible way to illustrate the elephant and the buffalo figures.
