Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.

Sheath for my elk-antler handled favourite carving knife
So, I was being carried away a bit with leather work;-), and while I was at it, I´d thought I´d make my favourite knife a decent home. Made it somewhat Scandi style, but with the seam on the outside, for I wanted a traditional belt loop, not a dangler type. Sorry, no photos in progress, but it was fun to make. If you have a knife that fits in the concept, that´s definitely a cinch to make! It took me aboutsome 45 minutes to make the sheath and fit it over the knife wet, 24 h to dry, and that´s it. It´s small, light and handy. The only requirement is that you have a knife with a blade shallower than the handle.
