This time, it's not my bushcrafter model, it's a full long leuku.
Overall, she sits at 13 1/8 inches with a blade length of 7 1/4 inches.
Working with a full tang style instead of a through tang, I used a dropped edge blade and very slight thumbramp, giving a blade breadth of 1 5/8 inches. Steel is 1/8 inch thick, differentially tempered 1080 steel. The edge is a traditional convex- easy to maintain on a hard backed strop in a fashion similar to a flat scandi.
Blade is forge finished, polished out with 600 and 800 grit hand rubbing. Spine, filework, and tang are blued to match the overall finish.
Reverse of blade is inscribed. Rough translation from the Norse is "And still, I live!" (Oleg an, lifi eg!)
Handle scales are Masur Birch, generously proportioned (fat, well rounded handle), with stainless pin stock.
Sheath is made by me, for a sole authorship. Expedition model deep pouch with adjustable belt hanger strap. Hanger is also removable for other mounting options.
Asking price for this one is $225, SOLD
And the best part, photos!
