Those are some new projects I have lying around. A short sword for Jürgen, the mad Scottish chief, from some stainless steel, and from left to right: Leaf handle knife, utility / puuko blade that has yet to have its tang centered, and a dragon head Kopis / En - Nep, all of the latter from spring steel.
Detail of the dragon head.
And up front...HHAAAAARRRRRGGGNNNNNN!!!!*ggg* Have to do some finishing work to it yet, though...;-)
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.
