IWA 2018: JOHANN FANZOJ Turns the Gunmaking World upside down by introducing a revolutionary pairing of Old World Craftsmanship with Space Age Materials

The Fanzoj exhibit at this year´s IWA show is once again a revolutionary technical and artistic tour de force of exclusive and unique gunmaking. After successfully introducing TITANIUM as a material to the high-end hunting gun market eight years ago with the launch of their amazing TI-bolt action series, Fanzoj is pushing the limits yet another step further by presenting the world´s first line of Custom Carbon stocks crafted to their traditional cream-of-the-crop hunting rifles at this year´s IWA show.

What seems like a paradox – a sacrilege – in the very traditional world of luxury gunmaking, is in fact a well-considered, top-rate engineering and design effort, pairing the latest high-tech materials with fascinating Old-World-craftsmanship, with the single goal of producing the finest individual pieces for the most discerning and individual of sportsmen – ultra-customized tools for the adventure of a lifetime.
