Now you know this knife already. Might be the progress I made with it is tiny, but the effect is cool, if you ask me. I did some buffing up and made a dangler sheath for it. The sheath is made from 3 mm vegetable tanned leather, carved and hardened with a spirit-soda concoction, beeswax and violin lacquer to achieve a chagrin effect.
Licce oooowl again...
...and a detail of the filework. The knife is very dexterous and even carves good. It´s one that will be special for me, keeping in mind that it was made from a 3 cm piece of crap!
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.
