A HMK Scalpel V5 product.
I really enjoy making rustic knives, and being inspired by old techniques; but we have to also remember that the people of the future will be inspired by the knives of today. This here is a 21st century knife. It is designed using modern mechanical engineering and manufacturing methods. Assembled by hand. This is modern artisan knifemaking at the most extreme. I didn't finish my mechanical engineering degree. But i applied everything i learned directly into this product. Mind you i have also handcrafted hundreds of scalpels. HMK has spent over 30,000 euros trying to develop the scalpel by hand. To make things the old way. Requires time, and wealthy customers.
