Hogstrom Sheffield Scimitar

Wow, I love that! Blade shape is killer, and that cip grind is very nice, really great flow.:thumbup:

Thanks for sharing Don, really nice piece overall.
 
Some one has to post an in hand pic!

I literally thought that was a small pocket bowie with a 3.5 inch blade!

Now that I know it is 7.5 inches with a 2 inch wide blade, it also clears up another thought I had (I wondered if my fat fingers would fit inside that lower downturn on the front of the guard). No problems there, with those dimensions.



I made the mistake of going to Anders Hogstrom's website today ( I have been quite a few times).

I went into a time warp! Lost 2 hours of my life in an instant, and did not even come close to looking at all the knives. I think I only made it through the swords and daggers. Did not even get through the fighters, or folders!
 
Like many, I also thought it was a small knife. I love the design, grind, and popcorn stag.

With a blade of 7.5" it must be quite a handful!

There are some very fine comments here- honestly, I am touched...that my work moves you in some ways and that the shapes are so appreciated makes me a very happy knife maker! For me the blade, grind lines and design is on both 1st and 2nd place on the list of importancy in a blade. Materials are of course important too but I don't think you can rack up a bunch of fancy stuff to make up for a poor design. I will get cracking on that in hand photo and post asap boys!

Anders,

Thats just plain fantastic and a rather unusual style from you. Exeptionally well done.

Funny, to me there is some Hanson influence in that blade.

This is a really nice knife!!!

And now instead of a miniature it looks like a beast from that in hand shot!
 
Part of its appeal is the lines are almost a caricature. Everything is pronounced and magnified.

It looks so squat and round, but then the sharp exacting bevels, guards, and the pointiest of tips. YIKES! :eek:

From across the oceans you can tell who made THIS one! ;)

Lots of visual appeal. As soon as I look at it I want to hold it. And I know if I hold it I won't want to put it down. :thumbup:
 
Another wonderful knife Anders. My second favorite Hogstrom and you know which my favorite is. Have to admit this would have been a great addition though/
 
It's so much more impressive looking with the in-hand shot.

Really stellar design with bold flow and lines.

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson
 
I swore it wasn't the same knife. Or the first photo was altered. I took both images and aligned them in the same orientation to compare side by side...

They are exactly proportional.

It's a trap! ;)
