matei campan Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 hi guys that's my first attempt to post pictures directly from my computer and not from photobucket.com, because last time I tryed to post this knife from there, it didn't work. so, if the pics don't appear right, please excuse me! about the knife itself - I tried to go further than the usual "viking" style blacksmith style design does in making the handle more ergonomic and with a better grip, and, not at least, to look different. It came out to offer a very nice grip and I'm very pleased by the result. the knife itself is bigger than the "normal" "viking" little knives, I could consider it an "outdoor" knife. as material, it's made out of spring-steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Tim215 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Absolutly beautiful work! Love the "comfort" grip. You have taken the blacksmith knife to a whole new level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The blade is the blade, but that handle blows me away....That's not to say I don't like whole piece but I've never seen such a cool handle on a single piece knife. Impressive..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkunkler Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I agree with Macbruce, I've never seen anything quite like it and I like the way the blade flows into the handle. It's a piece of functional art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matei campan Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 thank you for the appreciations. that's where forging shows itself to be over the stock removal :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 @pete46 you know, there's a saying around here: "those who know do, those who don't know teach the others". if I'll start to teach, I won't have time to do :) really, as bladesmithing, maybe it's a little something, but for a blacksmith this should be quiet basic... anyhow, I think you're joking :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Very nice design. Do you have a shot from above the handle? looking down the back of the knife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
