TheGermanBastard Posted February 17, 2018 Report Posted February 17, 2018 Hello, does anbody happen to know if Zenon Vandame is still in business and what his approximate polishing rate is? His website seems to have been down for quite some time. Thanks, Luis Quote

TheGermanBastard Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Posted February 17, 2018 Hello Jean, I did, thank you. But his website seems to be dead. Does anybody know if he is still polishing swords? Quote
vajo Posted February 17, 2018 Report Posted February 17, 2018 Yes he do. He offered me for a polish 21 EUR / cm in autum last year. You can try also Christophe Siliacus polijster@gmail.com He is not trained in Japan but some of his work looks nice. He wants something around 17 to 18 EUR / cm Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Posted February 17, 2018 Thank you Chirstoph! Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Posted February 18, 2018 Does anybody have a valid email address for him? Thank you Quote
Shogun8 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Zenon is indeed still in business and doing great work (at least with armor - I'm not familiar with his polishing work). In fact, I spent a bit of time with him at the recent Japanese Legacy III Symposium and Grand Tour at our Belgian stop. He's definitely alive, well and kicking! Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Posted February 24, 2018 Thank you. I have been able to make contac with him in the meantime Quote
karl Posted November 30, 2021 Report Posted November 30, 2021 Does anybody have the phone number of zenon?, mail and website doesn't work Karl Quote
karl Posted December 3, 2021 Report Posted December 3, 2021 got in touch via LI finally. still looking for some expert in Belgium to advise me on a Katana. Quote
YOJIMBO Posted February 25, 2023 Report Posted February 25, 2023 Does anyone have a current contact for Zénon van Damme? Quote

Hello Simon, your best bet is on LinkedIn, he still has an account there, though his whereabouts are a little unknown. A lot of armor restorers have diverted from it these last years, but perhaps he hasn't. As for blade restoration he's most likely still active. Quote

Mnoho restaurátorů brnění se od toho v posledních letech odklonilo, ale on možná ne. Pokud jde o obnovu čepele, je s největší pravděpodobností stále aktivní. thanks, I don't want to register anywhere. I don't even care about swords anymore. just looking for his phone or email. Quote

If I'm not mistaken, some of the older members in here know him personally, so you will probably get your answers one way or another. 1 Quote
Itomagoi Posted February 27, 2023 Report Posted February 27, 2023 I would be interested in the contact of Zeno Vandame as well. Quote
