Viking fibula knife

Just finished up this small fibula knife for a special 9-year-old that saved up and ordered all by herself. Respect!

I tried to give her something to be proud of with some 5000 year old Irish bog oak handle with brass bolsters and draw ring. Deep red beeswax treated leather sheath with brass fittings. Step shaped filings with 830-silver underlay.

I hope that you like it as well!

Fibula knife

Small women knife with hot waxed leather sheath with brass mounts. Step shaped filing with tinned copper underlay, brass rivets and bolsters. Fantastic pattern welded blade from the very talented George Ezell. The handle is a piece of 300 year old curly birch I've saved for a special project. The leather for the sheath is elk and vegetable-tanned by hand from a student at Bäckedals folkhögskola and later treated with hot beeswax.
