Working out of a small blacksmithing shop in Williston, Florida, Al Pendray (1937 - 2017) pushed the limits of metallurgy. In the course of a 50-year career as a farrier, Al Pendray shod, by his estimation, some 250,000 horses. Among those were five winners of the Kentucky Derby, and several dozen others that placed in a Triple Crown race. During that time, Pendray parlayed his skills at the anvil into a side career as a custom knifemaker, eventually earning the hard-won title of Master Bladesmith. Armed with those skills, and many years of patient tinkering, failure, and still more tinkering, Pendray started making tiny breakthroughs in an extremely elusive quest: to become the first man in the modern world to recreate Persia’s long-lost method of making steel called “Wootz.” Inducted into the ABS Bladesmithing Hall of Fame in 2003.
Zaza Revishvili is from Georgia, not the American State of Georgia, but the nation of Georgia. As a youth, Zaza was identified as a promising artist. He was sent to the top schools where he was a top student. While he studied and practiced many forms of art and design, his personal favorites have always been metal sculpture, jewelry, and especially knife making. He emigrated to the US following the collapse of the Soviet Union and today lives in Madison, Wisconsin where he has established his workshop. From there, he makes knives, jewelry, and other art for the royalty and the elite of the world. His knives, swords, and other works are in the finest collections the world over, including the permanent collection of the Kremlin Armory in Moscow.
