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.

Progress on my Nessmuk folder
Here it is, put together, my Nessie folder. Blade is 80 mm long, handle is reindeer antler, and the blade is made from spring steel, very sharp and thin, with aconvex bevel and a selective temper. But... of course something went wrong. Things only work by coincidence when I make knives, it seems. It´s wreck two, get one together- at the moment, at least. The handle chipped, for I had no decent washers to peen over. Have to take it apart again and do it all over again. Somewhat frustrating, but all my fault, being the ADS - squirrell I am...;-)
