June 11, 201412 yr Just finished up this little 3 inch long Scandi blade today. It was an extra blade left over from the 5 blade Norway order a while back. It is a 4 core serpentine pattern blade, back 3 are 1084/L6 and the cuting edge is O1/L6. A stabilized handle of teal dyed box elder burl with banding of lapis lazuli, and a German silver guard.
June 12, 201412 yr Looks nice, I have tried composite handles lately and they can be annoying. But this one looks fantastic.
June 13, 201412 yr Author Thanks, the wood is easy. Clamping the odd angles one at a time (not all at once, the center wedge kept slipping out) was not so bad, drilling out lapus lazuli really stinks, but next up, is the white turquouse ... lol
June 13, 201412 yr Steve, this is beautiful! I true work of art yet without a doubt fully functional!
