First knives from us, SOLD (wohoo!)

[Knives of Sweden]

Hi,

We are two metal designers living and working in Gothenburg, Sweden. Below you can see the first knives to come out of our workshop. These knives aren´t perfect but we think they look good and we want to offer them for sale to you at prices we hope are reasonable.

We´ll just post a few thumbnails here of five different knives and if you want you can see and read more at: www.knivesofsweden.com

These knives form a series we call Woods which is built around a nature theme. The steel is hollow ground and hand rubbed O1 from Uddeholm and the handle material is high gloss finished Alder root. The bronze fittings are built from individual pieces of bark and branches. These where tailored to match the knives and then cast in bronze with traditional centrifugal casting.

Just contact us if you are interested and we will get back to you as quick as possible, our e-mail is: knivesofsweden@live.com


Ok, here are some knives:

and so used a fine woodbranch as the model to form the bronze guard and small planks to form the bronze spacer.

Those are awesome. I wish there were some more close ups of the blade and handles. I think you will do very well here on the forum.

A little more illumination on those handles would help, but from what I see, they are beautiful knives.

I would like to see larger, brighter pictures. I like what I see but I'd like a little better/closer look!

If these are your first knives you've blown the curve for other beginning knifemakers! Beautiful work, and I can't wait to see what other knives the two of you create in the future!
