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.

Pimp my blade;-) rebirth of an old knife
This knife on top is the old knife on the picture below, the lowest in line. It always felt kinda awkward, so I hacksawed a big part of the handle off and made a copper butt cap to peen the tang against. And what can I say? It certainly was a difficult decision, but it was well worth the effort. The knife has far better balance, and now is a real EDC utility with a great feel to it I really like. I also reshaped the bevel, making it a bit more slicey. I like it! Zwissler "monster" damascus, 300 layers, integral, 80 mm blade, spine thickness 3,8 mm.
