Bear tarsoly.

Tarsoly finished! Bag is full grain vegetable tanned leather with hand tanned reindeer leather edges. The lid is covered with a deep red silk and the whole bag is lined with 80 year old handwoven linen.

Large and small bear fittings from Peter Beatson (thanks!), locking fitting and strap end by me.

I hope you like it!

Large Birka knife

Just finished with a large Birka style knife with sheath! I am really happy how this one turned out!

The fittings are a mix of a couple of the knife scabbards found at Birka at Björkö. Here are some of the original scabbards.

This projects has been in the making for over a year but it is just the last couple of weeks I have been able to focus and get it done.

Simple wooden juniper handle, dark chocolate coloured leather scabbard with brass fittings. Total length is 490 mm, blade 330 mm. Hope you like it, more below!
