That's a beautiful Berg knife. Any idea of date? I've been a Nordic knife guy for years, but never seen a Berg that nice.

Didn't have a sheath so I had a leather one made, and found a vintage Mora style birchbark tube sheath also...

bigolegator bigolegator , here's my slabomillie to complete the six-day rotation through the longest and pointiest rank of my Spyderco stash. This other KW Exclusive is one of two I bought within a few days of each other. My son already had the basic S30V G10 version but he so admired mine that I got one for him too. The lock bar in this S90V model is a bit stiff resulting in a tight detent but the still-factory, slightly toothy edge sure makes thiis one serious cutting machine. I ripped through a bunch of cardboard with it today getting rid of holiday packing boxes and feeding the Russian fireplace.View attachment 2038822

Ummm did You say Russian fireplace?!? And let me guess, Your favorite architecture is rooted in Byzantine types 😳😱🤷🏻‍♂️
 
What's this? Can I have a photo please?
It's a built-in brick shell with the firebox in the basement, the shell rising up the half-story to a height of over three feet in our kitchen. The flue is extended above the firebox within the shell, directing the smoke (and heat) up, down, and up again before exiting into the chimney. This superheats the gases, burning off most of the creosote, and the longer travel within leads to more heat being absorbed into the shell.

It's my understanding that Russian fireplaces evolved and were prevalent on the steppes where firewood was scarce and fast, hot fires from whatever small fuel might be available would heat the shell. The fires could go out and the masonry shell would act as a heat sink, continuing to warm the indoor space. I worked as a framer/home builder for many years and job scrap, brought home daily in barrels was the perfect material to burn.

Our fireplace is surrounded by two lower half-flights of masonry stairs with a brick hearth in the kitchen and the chimney in our open plan house rising two and a half stories through the two upper flights of open-riser wooden stairs. The more we burn the deeper into winter, the more all the masonry warms and radiates. I'm not finding any pics and will see if I can get you some tomorrow.

Back on topic, another shot of today's carry....
