Starting on some belt fittings!

Started on the matching belt for the red tarsoly. The customer wanted the tarsoly and the belt to look like a matching set I will make 70 new brass fittings.

Here is some pictures of how I make the fittings.

Large leuku with linden handle.

Just finished with a large leuku headed for New Zealand! Linden wood handle treated with linseed oil, blade from Lauri and brass bolsters. Sheath in 3,5 mm veg tanned leather treated with beeswax for weather protection. I hope this one will be used hard and often, it feels like a good working knife!

Total length 340 mm, blade 210 mm.


Custom EnZo Birk 75 folder S30V

Custom EnZo Birk 75 folder S30V flat grind with 2500 year old bog oak scales. I laminated the bog oak scales with acrylic-polyvinyl chloride composite to strengthen the construction and gave the handle a nice surface with linseed oil.

Sheath for KA-BAR USMC Fighting Knife

Custom sheath for a wonderfully worn, used and loved KA-BAR USMC Fighting Knife. The customer wanted something like a old west bowie scabbard crossed with a post apocalyptic zombie thing going on, I hope he will like it!
