Explore KROP Knives: Dentist-Turned-Bladesmith Sinan Tansel's Stunning Handmade Damascus and Sustainable Steel Creations in Istanbul

A pleasure to visit with dentist-turned-bladesmith Sinan Tansel, who started #kropknives to blend his love and appreciation for music and the culinary arts. He showed us his collection of Damascus, outdoor and kitchen chef knives which use recycled, sustainable materials. He also showed us his wonderful hand-made, dual-toned patterned knife blades, made by acid staining on steel.

We also stopped in at a small glass artist studio in this old part of town.
