So the magic troll has done it again. She mailed me with a picture of her FIRST! knife she has ever made, with a Lauri carbon steel blade, walnut, buffalo horn and reindeer antler fittings. Note these carvings. I am not quite sure if I should hate her or love her even more for her skill... guess the latter will do fine, though;-). RESPECT!!!!!!!
This is a spontaneous carving she did because she felt like it, a fitting for a Birka pouch. Reindeer antler... DOH!!!*ggg*
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.
