Milan again became the center of handmade knives in Europe this year. The C.I.C. knife show happened to take place in the Marriott Hotel on the 24. and 25. November. For me one of the best knife shows in the world.
An international forum of knife makers was presenting their magnificent works and of course most of the knives sold on the first day. But this was no surprise because the audience of collectors came from all over the world. It was great fun for all of us.
Many thanks to the organizers of this marvelous show, particularly to Giovanni Carlini and Francesco Pachì.
The following knife makers attended this years show:
ANTONINI - APOSTOLI - AQUILA - BACCHILEGA - BALISTRERI - BALLESTRA - BARBAN - BENNICA - BERGH - BERNABEI - BERNINI - BOJTOS - BONASSI - BRUNA - CALARESU - CANCEDDA - CONSOLI - DAVIS - DES HORN - DUNKERLEY - EATON - EBNER - EMBRETSEN - ENGLAND - ESPOSITO - FARINA - FOGARIZZU ANTONIO - FOGARIZZU GIANMARIO - FOGARIZZU PIERO - FOGARIZZU TORE - FRIZZI - GARAU MARCELLO - GARAU PIERO - GIGANTE - GOBEC - GULLI - GUSTAFSSON - HARA - HITCHMOUGH - JANKOWSKY - KNICKMEYER - KRESSLER - LAKE - LECOCQ - MATTIOLI - MAX - MORLACCHETTI - MOROTTI - MUSSO - NARUSHIMA - NEALY - OTTONELLO - PERSSON - PORATELLI - PUDDU - QUARTINI - RAIMONDI - RAMONDETTI - REGGIANTI - REVISHVILI - RIETVELD - SACHER - SCHANZ - SCORDIA - SCOTTI - SENTZ - SILVESTRELLI - SIMONELLA - SINIBALDI - SKELLERN - SLOBODIAN - SOPPERA - STEINAU - SUCHERAS - TERZUOLA - THORBURN - TISSEYRE - TRABALZA - TROMBIN - TSCHAGER - USAI - VAN RIJSWIJK - VELARDE - VOLPATO - WEINSTOCK - WOOD
