Leonardo
I just finished this homage to the genius of Leonardo de Vinci. The piece was commissioned by a good friend and customer in Italy. The gentleman is an avid knife collector and an aficionado of Leonardo. This famous self portrait is the only known image of the 15th-century Italian master. The knife is a Randall model #12/6" with ivory and pure silver furniture.
