This is a knife that interprets the lines of a Scandinavian iron age design after finds all over the place. It is not a viking age design, as it is often mistakenly tauted, but dating back a bit earlier.
I tried this torsion work to which Kai inspired me to.
The blade is made from junkyard scrap steel, 110xtapering from 4-2mm with less than 5% stock removal, a convex bevel and a selective temper.
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.
