Third times the charm?
Third knife.
A Per Björkman blade, unsure about the steel, but guessing on AEB-L or 13C26. Shaft is made from buffalo horn and oak. |

Re: Third times the charm?
Hi that is very pretty. The sheath, is that made in two parts or do you somehow hollow it out?

Re: Third times the charm?
The sheat is made from leather. One piece that I have sewn together. There is a single piece of wood inside the sheath as well, it's situated in front of the blade and is roughly the shape of the blade.
A little aestetic function from this piece of wood is that it is much easier to get the snap when you put the knife back in the sheath. |

Re: Third times the charm?
Very nice job! (The first picture looks almost like there should soon come out a butterfly)
Very harmonic design! |

Very clean lines with a definite organic feel when sheathed, I like it

Re: Third times the charm?
Thanks alot for the warm words.. They are very appreciated. I am still new to this, but seeing the high class of everyones work makes one try to surpass oneself again and again..
I am quite proud of this knife. The best sheath fit I've managed to accomplish thus far. The knife I'm working with now is already giving me nightmares tho.. But that's a different story. Here's a couple of pictures of the backside on the sheath as well, in case someone is curious. |

That is some fabulous stitching!
I would love to have some lessons with you about leather work this way |

Thanks Daniel.
I think I am far to new to all this knifemaking stuff to give you lessons! But if you got any questions, just send them to me and I'll try and answer it to the best of my abilities. |
