Are you using a piece of broken glass as a knife in one of those pictures?

Yes. This is a traditional way to remove the thin upper layer of the sole. English makers use a tool called "scraper". I tried that too, but I was trained to use glass, so I keep using that.

Hope you stay a reader! .. and I can show you more interesting stuff. Sometimes I don't realise that something can be interested to an outsider, wht I make day by day. But now I go to work everyday with a camera!

Very nice Marcell, that is the first true fiddleback I've seen from a Hungarian maker.

amazing!! This seems to be truly an art and it shows in how elegant and beautiful your shoes are! As soon as this economy gets over the hump I plan on becoming a customer of yours!

Beautiful, I actually read that post last night too, and then again now!

Beautiful shoes and unreal workmanship - I love reading/seeing stuff like this.

Are the prices for Koronya shoes on par with Lobb and such?

Thanks. I'm going to take these pics to my local cobbler to see if he can do this for me on a potential resole job if that's OK.

I'm looking forward to the debut of your RTW collection. I'll be a customer for sure.
