It's been about five years since my last post, and my knife making hobby has gotten a bit more serious since. Here's some of my latest work.
Reproduction of a late iron age Finnish seax. Laminated blade, cast bronze handle. I had the pleasure to study one of the originals at National Board of Antiquities, Finland. Pretty cool.
Puukko-knife with cryogenically treated Uddeholm Elmax Superclean high carbon stainless steel blade, antler handle and silver bolsters. Through tang construction. Sheath fittings are sterling silver also. I was going for a look that would be a bit "worn" (except the blade, of course).
Simple axe
I made these three for myself![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
