Levin from Weideland took up tribal knifemaking;-)

...and this came out. Kai helped a bit with the grinding, but Levin forged it out all by himself with no tutoring whatsoever. The shape was intended, for it shall be a knife to process herbs and the like. It´s forged from spring steel.

Can do with some sharpening still, but that achievement makes me proud, for we forged his first knife together. That he took to forging is great. I look forward to further forging sessions.:-)

Check out his blog, which is in German, but incorporates poetry, photography, and from now on, bushcraft, too.


Sláinte, Levin!
