On Sunday I dropped by at Volker´s to lend him a hand and doing some forging myself. There were a lot of kids again having fun with fire and steel;-).
Daddy was righteously proud of little sonny...
You might be familiar with one of those pictures, but this is Volker again, forging a snake;-).
Blades near the fire;-).
More kids, proud of their achievements!
And those were this knife.... (made from mild steel with no edge as a toy...
and this snail...
had some fun myself. Top: Spring steel, the preform of a Dussak,
Below: Seven bar damascus Kopis knife.
Below: Seven bar damascus utility
Below: Tempered the little Rune-engraved utility. File steel.
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.
