Claudio Reche plays with FIRE, and there he endangers all his body.

Noteworthy that, in Internet, intellectual and work office days; hard work great examples stay alive as echoes of coming back since remote nights of all the times. Echoes of hominid instinctive effort not yet perfectly erect that sharps, strike by strike, a piece of obsidian stone in order to hunt little animals overcoming his primary cowardice.

Reche‘s work holds him as the main character together with the anvil, the forge and his hammers. Weigh hammers certainly.
With colossal, atavistic and brutal effort, Reche triumphs over the hardest steels. Starting the preformed until get rounding about the final blade pattern. Reche makes a mixture between his self learning and the brutal railway smiths and the Japanese  forge smiths traditions,  exalting the dark  crafting  process of creating slaughter instruments, in an exquisite art.
 
Claudio Reche presents his work enclosing notable originality and commitment. A meticulous and obsessive work delights, also accompanied with handcraft richness. His work merges eastern and western traditions. Raising a daily utensil to a piece of art status that fascinates the hands and the eyes.
