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.

André´s Espade y daga from the Philippines
A friend of the magic troll´s, André, recently was on the Philippines for a martial arts holiday and some tree huggin´;-) and brought those goodies with him. Do not know a bit about them, but the sheath seems to be bamboo, the handle some rosewood variety like Palisander and I strongly suspect the blades being spring steel. Since André and his will-be wife also have a webshop, I will keep you informed when he imports them!
