I tried something new in this knife. The blade had been lying around for some time now. It is made from crucible steel I found in the woods, and I fitted a piece of stag antler into the handle, with no glue whatsoever. Blade´s 100x3 mm with a selective temper and a quench line. Was quite difficult to fit the piece into the handle, but I managed. And mistreating the knife, I can now say it can take quite a beating!

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.
