Thank's for watching and comments

Thank you so much!!! You're right, there's nothing better than being a dad. This is completely new dimension of love.

Hi all!

In last few weeks was worse communication with me. I take most of my toughtfullness to my wife. In saturday CET 12:03p.m. she gave birth to our son Otmar. Next day I brought both home from hospital.

I haven't words about my feeling... It's pure happiness

Josh, I'm finishing my handles with little pieces of sandpaper up to grit 1200, on exotic woods like this up to 2000 grit. Final grits are under oil (I'm using oil from Osmo becaus it has certificate for using on toys and kitchen equipment.

Hi guys!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much guys!

Wes: I'll try make some pictures of some next knife

Hi guys!

These are two new knives out of my workshop. Both are made of W2 steel, turkish walnut and bronze.

Thanks for watching!

Thak you! Tim Scarlatti: It's scratched with edge of carbide burr fitted on my high speed micromotor. Than it's patinated on sodium polysulfide

Hello gentlemen and thank you for all posts!

At the first. The blade on the birch bark knife is made of billet which I bought from one dealer of knifemaking supplies here in Czech republic. It consist of Czech equivalents of AISI Gr. 1045 and O2. Unfortunatelly I'm not equipped for forge welding; I have only simple gas kiln, anvil and hammer, so I can forge only simple not welded blades. Every damascus and laminated blades are made of billets bought mostly from knifemakers from Czech rep.

DanielQ: thank you very much. In 2008 I was in Sävsjö knifeshow and met Michael West, this year winner of "best of show" category in Solingen. He is wery friendly guy by the way. I can see his clear modern designed knives in my own hands. You can say it has't pure scandinavian shapes, but for me it's modern essence of nordic tradition. I think that is about a feeling. We are living in 21th century and we can set influences from all of the world and creating with absolutelly freedom...uff... I hope that is understandable with my bad english.

Back to my work: customer for who is the birch bark knife needs to collection little neck. Here are the pictures:
