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.

New Whittler in Progress
This is something I did for recreation... a fast semi-integral whittling knife;-). The blade is forged to shape almost 100%, the integral´s shoulders have seen no filing whatsoever but have been set with a nail device. It is made from scrap spring steel from the junkyard and stag antler from a flea market. 65x3mm, selective temper.
