So ... I really feature the Knights at a few points in this video ... but mainly the video is of my entire set. Anyway . https://youtu.be/iKyfocgRjm8
I love the romanian knights. I think it's my favorite set. I don't own one and have never seen one for sale (that I can afford)
I wish they were more widespread.
Really? No one's gonna mention the Dubrovnik knights? They're some of the best/tough to carve knights in the world.
At least the Olympiad version ones.
My entry Derby Knights, boxwood and ebony. I have a Dubrovnik set from HOS and another on order from Noj. but these are more intricately detailed and for now my favorites. The unfinished knight photo just below is part of a set I'm having custom made, there's no definitive name to the set. An innovative creation by a wood turner named Conrad. It has some European type design to it and will have a 4" king. The knight was carved from 1 solid piece of turning stock no glued parts in this design. I like the way the mane of the horse came out, fading towards the base.

CB rulez!
I really like this one founded in an episode of a TV show... But can't find the original set. Any ideas ?

Hi Arno, It seems to be a Romanian Knight. Chessbazaar is selling it. Have a look here.

Hope it helps!
Thank you but it's not as geometric as on the picture. Thank's a lot though, it's very close !
Beautiful Knight Antonio. Why don't you do a post with more pics of this knight and the rest of the set?
Thanks, goodknightmike! I posted it earlier here:

I really like the set and would like nothing more than to take more pics but will spare everyone lest fatigue set in.
