Hand-worked luxury daggers, swords, short swords, broad swords, stilettos, oriental sabres, daggers, and hunting knives will be featured in this year’s Big Boys Toys by Rulux Pro, who has pulled out all stops to make objets d’art out of weapons of violence. Using the services of Gregory I. Manush, a doyen of Russian artists, and Nina V. Lokhtacheva, as their artistic director, each of these which will be on display is akin to a museum piece. Using birch, leather etc. for handles with blades from damask steel, gilded, lacquered, embedded with precious and semi-precious stones, etched and engraved, these are works of love and extreme artistry.
