Old Friends and new. I would like to introduce you to Chuck Benedon.
He has the largest selection of contemporary big knives and swords I know of. From Shaw Leibowitz, Gil Hibben, etched Bowies, to Broadswords and Claymores, Imels to Warenskis. He has the best of the past decades from the founding members of this Golden Age of contemporary blade Smiths.
His selection of Art Nouveau and Deco, from 17th Century jewelry, to the Tiffany glass and swords of the late 1800s is worth the look.
Chuck has all which is currently available of mine in the U.S. – so connect with him and enjoy the experience…..More pieces are coming that ought to put a smile on your face….Virgil

I designed this piece drawing inspiration from the Persian Empire during its height between 600 and 100 BC, when it dominated much of the Eastern and Southern Mediterranean, including the Lower Nile. This era saw a fusion of cultures, with the Persians adopting elements of Pharaonic attire, which is reflected in the style of this creation.
