I recently came across this very great knife, tool and skills blog:
https://nordiskaknivar.wordpress.com/
In it are featured many aspects of Scandinavian knife- and tool culture. For instance, Pasi Hurttila shows you how to forge a hatchet with a lot of valuable input:

I was also very fond of a great tutorial on a woven birchbark knife sheath:

https://nordiskaknivar.wordpress.com/2015/01/31/tuohituppi-birch-bark-sheath-a-tutorial-by-eero-kovanen/
The blog offers a clean homepage and a logical navigation via the wordpress system. It offers a lot of interesting features on knifemakers, blacksmiths, agricultural tools, bushcraft supplements as pouches, bags and sheaths and offers tutorials on half-forgotten techniques, very informative and well-structured tutorials by accomplished craftsmen.
If you´re into Scandinavian knifemaking culture, bushcraft or just a handicrafts and arts aficionado, go pay it a visit, it´s well worth it!

P.S.: I am really sorry for this notice coming so late. My very poor physical health has been worse lately.
Thank you, Jerry, and get well, if you can!
