  1. I was always attracted to Mammen style (yes, gentlemen, I am aware that this sounds like a beginning of a C-class red library book, but I just couldn´t help myself...) but until recently, I was too afraid to try anything in it, because it seemed so intricate. I was reading about some viking artifacts and I came across the Cammin Casket . The more I was looking at it, the more it drew me, the figures, the ornaments.... the creatures seem so lively!!! I had to try something, and the two ravens present on the casket drew me the most. And so I decided to trap one of them. Below, you can see the result. I used walnut wood for the handle, brass for the fittings, and blade composed of wrought iron, PW rod, and very old filefor the edge. The OAL is 22,7cm without the ring, the blade is 10,2cm long and 2,1cm wide... The worst part was, surprisingly, the circles . They drove me NUTS !!!

  2. Hello! I have recently been admiring the Cammin Casket, especially the two raven figures... they somehow stuck in my mind, and I knew I had to release them. And so I did The raven is trapped in the walnut handle now, wielding a 10,2cm long blade (2,1cm wide and 4mm thick), which is composed of a wrought iron spine, patternwelded rod, and a very old file for the edge. The hole for the blade was burnt in. The raven nests in a sheath made of 3mm thick cowhide, protected by brass plates. This knife is perfect for feasts and slaughter of food! The OAL is 22,7cm without the ring. I am asking 360USD + shipping
