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 knives by Kai...
Kai mailed the other day to announce the forthcoming of some new knives. He tests them severely (all the like smashing ém with a sledge, testing on mild steel rods, letting ém drop on concrete and all that "void-mywarranty" stuff;-). This one´s a demi-integral from spring steel, length 20cm, blade: 9cm, spine thickness 2mm, tested 60HRC. Handle is made from fungus-infested stabilized beechwood.
And one he made for an archer. Spring steel, as above, from railroad screw clips. blade 11,5cm overall 22,5cm
spine thickness 2mm flat grind, edge angle 25°
Handle is fungus-infested beechwood again.
Overall tested hardness 61 degrees HRC.
Boy, IS that guy making progress. You can literally watch him get better! Check out his imageshack here.
