Hello!

I want to show you something i finished while having the lecture with Stephane:

viking pattern welded knife with Odin face and carved bolster. The blade is welded from 3 rods - steel edge, 9 layer billet and wrought iron core. The bolster and cap is antler, the handle is stained antler. Decoration is ringerike style

Gotlandic style sheath with brass

The knife is available, PM me if interested

 

Bálegr is one of Odins names

that is totally bad ass. I really love the minimalist style of carving on the grip, the horn Odin and scroll work is sweet. (I think I might just have to copy the Odin Idea for one I am working on right now. ... sorry)

Petr,

I like this style a great deal, as you know. I love my little knife. I keep it on a display shelf near our pool table, so when people come over for fun and games, they always comment on your work.

 

Seeing all of this good stuff with wrought iron has inspired me to try and use more of it. More later on that, if the baby lives through heat treatment.

 

great work, as always.

by the way, you still never answered my question - do you suggest primarily hand tools or power and rotary tools when working antler?

I've watched and learned a lot during the birth of this knife.

Petr showed me the process and he works fast :blink: If I wasn't around asking questions and taking his time this knife could have been done much quicker.

 

Dremel for antler is a dream. I'd never imagined if could carve so clean. However the scraper "finish" is a must.

 

Cracking little knife
