First Sword and Introduction

[Richard vanDijk]

Hi All
At first my apologies I can read a little German but I can't write it very well, so I am doing this in English.
My name is Richard van Dijk and I am a bladesmith in New Zealand.
Originally I come from Holland.
I will be attending the IMA show in Munich so Uli Hinnicke suggested I introduce myself over here.

Please have a look at some pic's of my first sword, 5 bar damascus, total length 97 cm, Bronze with damascus fittings and an Ebony handle, the sheath is leather with bronze.

If you like to have a look of some of the other stuff I make please visit

Thank you

Richard

Hi,

You have realy awesome work on your website!

I especially like the carving knife 104 - great blade!!
The Tanto 88 also look's great - sadly I can't attend IMA this year, would have loved to see your work live.

Greetings
Olli
