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.

Yet another leaf handled knife-big ´un;-)
Made another leaf handled knife design, a longer blade for a cahnge, 140 mm x 6 mm with no stock removal so far. It was a right pain to make this time, don´t know why, but it drove me mad. It´s a bit hard at times to judge the length of the handle part properly when forging, given I take no measurements and judge it with the eye alone. Given that, it came along quite nicely, even if I am not content - as usual, one might add. It has a selective temper and will see just a tiny bit of grinding. Oh, and sorry for that lousy photo, I will replace it as soon as possible. Watch this space!
