Another
small viking belt knife finished!
Blade from Thomas Cederroth and flame
maple handle with brass bolsters. Deep sheath with curved brass
fittings with etched copper inlays.
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!
