Yap, I love these knives. Made from spring steel, they are made fast and are dead reliable and handle well.
 This one is selectively tempered and mildly carburized in the forge. Convex bevel, high to zero...
 Some torsion work on the handle...
And the leaf.
It´s not exactly easy to get everything straight, and certainly you need some practice (I most certainly do... ). But I think, it´s in for a sheath now, and I will use it as a bushcraft knife. Watch this space! ;-)
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.
