Jonas, our "apprentice" is making huge progress these days. Here he proudly presents a HUGE BSTD of an En-Nep made from steel of unknown provenience. The knife is forged into shape almost 100%, selectively tempered and hot-punched for scales.
Jonas being righteously proud!
I especially like the fact that he also does sensible spine thicknesses. I look forward to seeing it made!
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.
