Birka style war knife
Just finished one of my all time favourite
projects! I'm really happy how this knife and sheath turned out and I'm
sure it will be properly cared for all the way over in Canada!
Blunted blade in 51CrV4 for steel fighting and linseed oil treated knotted masur birch handle. The sheath has Birka-style fittings and leather treated with molten beeswax. Three point suspension and polished brass bolsters.
I hope you like it! I will try to get time to make a detailed "making of"-album with all the pictures I've taken during the build. Stay tuned!

Back from trip with a large seax!
I just came back from a two week trip to Norway. Spent some time in the mountains hiking and getting inspiration as well as visiting Borre viking market. I had a great time and got to talk knifes with a lot of great people!
I forgot to take pictures of most of the knifes I brought with me but here are some I managed to snap some pictures of.
First is a large seax with scabbard. Flame maple handle, red dyed wet tooled leather with polished brass fittings. Blade is 15N20/1095 with a gentle etch. Three point suspension.
This is up for sale, 3800 SEK or 450 €. Contact me for details.

Skomakarens barn!
Det tog ett par år men nu har även jag en fin kniv! Som ett tydligt exempel på att skomakarens barn inte har några skor så har jag aldrig hunnit göra en kniv åt mig själv förrän nu. Nu är det dock åtgärdat och det blev en praktfull historia.
Skaftet är svartek och älghorn. Bladet är damaskerat och 190 mm långt. Skidan har punsade beslag, inlägg av förtennat brons och spiralkvastgehäng så att jag kan fästa den i mitt lamellbälte.
Nu så finns Audhumbla även på Facebook!
