This is a knife I found on a recent flea market that screams "high-end tribal design" on top of its lungs. It is the "miniature" of a popular Greek design, and I got it for 5€. The blade presumeably is high carbon spring steel, bolster is a beautifully accomplished "habaki" design from brass, the scales are highly polished buffalo horn.
The blade has a great edge retention while being flexible to the max. Whoever made this knows a thing about heat - treating.
Beautifully swallows tail handle design.
That blade is extremely thin, making it a monster slicer at 1-1,5 mm spine thickness.
The sheath is ... a good excuse to make a new one, but still, the craftsmanship is great, even if it does not work so well. I will make a neck sheath for it.
I am proud of it!
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.
