Knife Vision series

15 photographs. 15 unique blade finishes to choose from.

The Knife Vision series reveals the essence of Japanese knives through striking macro photography. Each picture showcases the intricate textures, patterns, and forging details that define a masterfully crafted blade.

The images shot by the photographer Martin Baebler are more than art—they are a testament to the generations of knife masters who have shaped their craft.

The Knife Vision series explores the texture and reflection of light in the world of Japanese knife-making. Each image represents the artistry of a different knife master and their unique vision of metal and its properties. The project is a tribute to the craftsmanship of Japanese knives, which dates back centuries, and a reflection on the nature of our gaze.

As the knife masters work their surface, so does the light.

About the author

With his time split between Paris and Ljubljana, photographer Martin Baebler combines traditional French influences with modern design motifs. After graduating from the Italian Institute of Photography (IFF) in Milan in 2002, he moved to Paris in 2006 and has since showcased his work worldwide. His art, inspired by cinema, classical art, and travel, often spotlights striking, intricate textures. When shooting in black and white, he explores the shades of depth, “the range of the black-and-white rainbow from a stifling black to a purified whiteness, with an arc of rich greys in between”.
