Some more steel lying on the bench, er the cloth, that is;-), a Birka kitchen and snack knife, with scrollwork, torsion work and enhraving / stamping, a little somewhat something someone ordered;-), a flat chisel for detail work on ram´s heads, dragon heads and the like, and a hollow chisel / half circle stamp for engraving. Tempered spring steel all, with the top slightly hardened on the stamps and chisels.
The torsion work on the knife.
Stamping went not so well on one side...
I choose a moderate spine thickness of 3,5 mm on the knife.
And the in riverso perspective with a slightly better stamping. The knife was just for practicing after all;-).
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.
