HI!

It has been a while since we have shown any knives here but we are still making knives all the time so hopefully we will have time to post some of the

knives that we have made the last couple of months here on BladeForums.

We are also working on our new homepage, it should be up and running sometimes this week so please check it out later this week.

But now I want to show a knife that we made for the Helsinki knife show that was held in January.

The blade is multibar damascus that we have forged ourself.

The handle is made out of damascus, colored heated titanium, mammoth ivory and Desert ironwood.

The sheath is handtooled lether.





Best regards

Simon And Jakob Nylund.

that makes me want to make another full-tang. sometimes full tang (it is full tang, right - boy this will be embarrassing if it isn't) knives can be boring. People turn them out, pin some slabs on them, and pat themselves on the back as artists (no bolsters, no serious design work, nothing to set the blade apart). Then again, I have been guilty of trying to make them complex with bolsters and hamons or patterns and often falling short due to plain old technical issues with fit and finish.

Not too sure I explained this correctly, but I hope you know what I mean. I love a knife with bolsters and no guard, when it is done just right. Light, solid, still just as safe to use.

you, have managed to give the knife some nice flair, and keep all of the technical aspects in line. Well. I really like this knife.

hopefully, you had a lot of fun making it, and some day will make another close to it.

Thanks for the comment!

It's actually a stick tang. We have only made a few fulltangs since I feel that I can control the shape better on stick tangs, it's easier to change the shape as you go.
