Thank You for looking and all comets here welcome .

Fantastic blade and sheath combo! Could you explain how the sheath lock works? Maybe a pic or two closer up of the release button :D
 
That is really quite special. You should be very proud of that work.

Did you do the carvings on the handle and blade yourself? If not, do you mind saying who did?

I never heard of Thuja before, but it reminds me a bit of fiddleback walnut. Very attractive. Is this a wood you have worked with a lot, and what are its characteristics (beyond the obvious beauty) - heavy/dense or lightweight, easy/hard to stabilize, etc.?

Sorry for so many questions . . . but that is how I learn!
 
I must say out of all the knives I have seen this is the ONE I would really like to own.

Great work

I hope Stefan does not mind me answering this question. Thuja burl is quite fat and oily and will pack upp your file or sanding paper pretty quickly. Its quite dense but not normally that hard. I dont believe it stabilizes easily. As Stefans work shows, the results can however be quite attractive.

that's a pretty damn impressive piece of work.

I like the many questions because he reports it always that interests it what you see .
I try to make everything myself ,but I work with pleasure together with other ones . Damast made by for me Hungarian blacksmith A. Szabó And in the technical details /than the lock system/Cs.Vojko.
The thuja is stabilized root ,there is no problem with him very well can be worked.

Thanks!


And thank you too, Stefan, for the additional information.

That really is a spectacular package. Congratulations.
 
BEAUTIFUL work Stefan. I like the combination of materials and your carving is very well done as always.

Thanks for posting it,
Peter
 
That is a really exceptional package - knife and scabbard are each beautiful creations in their own right and compliment each other perfectly. Terrific work!
