Dear friends!

We are pleased to inform you that the 14 issue of the international magazine of knives “R.I.F.” is on sale since September 10, 2013





In the issue:

From the Editors:

Exclusively for R.i.F.

Russia Craftsmen:

Igor Arefiev:

“I don’t like working on request…”




...I work with pot steel only, and I make it myself. And bulat steel is East, that is where East motives come from. Why do I like to make old style blades? I even do not know. I just make them. There you may see the East beauty and a blade seeming just a simple thing. But this is simplicity based on laborious efforts. And often time consuming, indeed. I wonder now old-time weapon craftsmen made such thing having no technical equipment we can use nowadays...

International Knife Exhibition “R.I.F.”Spring-2013“ in Israel



...Tradition is tradition, and that is why on May 25, 2013, on the country North, in an equally traditional place, in the large hall of the Ain ha-Mifratz kibbutz that is near old Akko, the next Cold Weapon Exhibition took place. A sponsor and organizer of the exhibition was – once more, traditionally – R.I.F., a cold weapon journal...

Sa’ar Nudel:

An axe to grind





...The internet gave way for growing fields of collecting such as ancient tools, mainly torture and punishment

instruments. As a result, we can see a relatively large number of what is depicted as “executioners' axes”. Even

though it was a major tool of that grim trade, basically it was just a big axe. However, as with every special task

tool, it had to have certain qualities to perform its role sufficiently...




Russia Craftsmen:

Valeriy Koptev:

“Anyway, I Do It as I Want”




...The first thing was to understand the principle itself. I had no information, just the fact that somebody do it. Later I get acquainted with Basov and, while he had not taught me a single day, he was greatly interested in what I could do. For example, there was such an exercise: preparing Damascus from a handful of nails and another handful of cast iron with no electric welding, using nothing except a forging furnace, an anvil, and manual smith hammer. Since then, Damascus has been my main working material...

“Smiths of Russia -2013” Smith Festival



...In the recent May weekend, in the All-Russia Exhibition Center (AREC), Moscow, the Central All-Russia Smith Festival, “Smiths of Russia”, was held. In the area of the 1st USSR Pavilion and the “Peoples’ Friendship” fountain, smiths from all over Russia gathered – Yakutia, Ryazan, Pskov, Baykal. Moscovites and guests of the Capital became visitors and participants of the festival. The “weather forecast” importunately promised a downpour and thunderstorm, but the first day of the event passed with no bad surprises...


Ukraine Craftsmen:

Sergey Mikhaylovskiy:

”The main accent the knife usability”



...I would forge, times and again, but rarely, mainly for fun, on the smith festival with Petro Fedoryaka. What

I like to forge more are not knives but axes. Forging is not a too hard operation if you know what you are doing and are skilled enough. For me, forging was beginning at Sorochinska Fair. Petro Fedoryaka was there with his forge. That was where I began trying to forge. I began with my first horseshoe and a nail. Then I forged a blade, but I failed. It cracked when been tempered. Well, than Petro arranged the smith festival in Trudolub Village where I continued to train myself in forging…



Alex Tseitlin:

The history of Sheffield cutlery company Joseph Elliot & Son.


...Trade advertisements dated Elliot's to 1795. According to family sources, the firm has so far been traced to Joseph Elliot (c. 1760-30 July 1830), who had ten children. The first directory listing was in 1822, when Joseph Elliot (his son?), a razor manufacturer, was based in Sambourn Square, Edward Street. Three years later the firm relocated to its nineteenth-century address: Hollis Croft...

The traditional fest continues to bring together blacksmiths and cutlers who have come to the festival at the personal invitation of Petr Fedoryaka, a wellknown Ukrainian blacksmith master and the organizer of this event...

Microtech Socom Elite mini or What Else do You Need to be Happy…




...The first problem arised immediately: I wore no suits. Alas, in our hot climate, if you are not some minister or a cool businessman, it is somewhat problematic to wear suits. First, it is hot. Second, the laws of our country do not allow to bear a knife. Even with a suit. But you can't throw words out of a song, and that was why I

became concerned with a knife that may be classified as “for a suit and elegant”. Well, it was not me who thought of the term, these were users of other countries who are forced to wear suit pairs and, at the same time, are allowed to wear knives. That is why I did not ignore the issue...

Review

Lipa Gruzman:

The “Shiv” story



…I would like to tell the readers of “R.I.F.” about the art that has stuck deeply in my mind – the art of handling the “moyka” [shiv>, that is, a small, sharp, non-folding knife made from an open-blade razor that was nice for “cutting the pocket”. And if that pocket had a purse or a wallet in it, or just money – well, you were a lucky guy… And as for the “criminal underworld” – this is how they refer to it now – in those days these two words only made us smile...


History:

Superstitions Associat ed with Knivesbr />




… Who of us did not get in situations associated with superstitions? There are not so many of such people. Here and there you may hear: “Don’t eat from your knife or you will become evil” or even “Don’t play with the knife or we will quarrel”. And many other things… Really, there is a vast variety of superstitions. And no wonder, since a knife is one of the main things in human lives since ancient times with their stony knives

till blades of super-modern steels nowadays. But even now, a modern human being still follows, sometimes unconsciously, numerous superstitions as if some ancient genetic memory is working. And you may find there even some mysticism… This time, we collected several superstitions for you associated with knives and having been existing from immemorial times...

Hebron. One of the four



...Hebron is one of four sacred cities for Israelites, apart from Jerusalem, Safed, and Tveria. It is believed that Jews had lived in the city for about three thousand years, till the massacre of 1929. This very ancient city, repeatedly referred to in the Bible, was once a center of a historical area, Judea. It is still one of the largest settlements in Judean Mountains, with its inhabitants separated in two parts independent of one another...
