Bushman 762 posted a pic of this blade on British Blades and I wanted to share it.

I really like the overall shape of the knife, handle and blade, and the butt cap is a great touch.

Yep. It's official. I like it too. How much and how long to get one are the questions to ask.
 
Interesting knife. It's like a spear point blade with a fishtail handle.
I think this is the first time I've seen a Jorgensen, but I like it. Now I gotta go look him up.
 
Very nice HD. I keep putting off a knife for the old country but I need to get around to getting one some time. All my mom's grandparent are from norway.

is the handle splatted birch? it is pretty groovy too.

It has a very nice brushcraft shape. Pat
 
that is a hottie , i love that sheath is cool , a well put together knife indeed. did you buy hd?
 
I didn't see that knife on the website. Hmmmm. Love the handle.

Baltic Birch. One of the prettiest woods to apply finish too. Almost the same reaction as fireworks. "Oooooooooo. Ahhhhhhhhhh." Neato stuff.
 
Very nice. The only thing that would worry me is how completely 'smooth' the transition is from the handle to the blade. I like a little something there. No, I'm not going around stabbing stuff with my bushcraft blades, but I've been known to stab 'em into a stump for a convienent place to leave it.
 
Honestly the only thing I don't like is the buttcap. IMO it would just weigh it down, and tarnish. Plus, that birch is really pretty! Why cover up the end grain?

I'm not sure about that part either as I have some smaller Bushies with shorter handles which are smaller in girth at the butt end and they tend to be very handy. Maybe be knows something I don't and it works well - I don't know but I DO know that it's one of the prettiest handles I have ever seen. Very nice-looking knife and very much to my own tastes in every other feature.

I believe that you mean Masur Birch. Baltic Birch is a high-quality voidless plywood.

Beautiful stuff anyway.
 
Umm, wow. That's really...stunning. I was thinking 'Scan' Dubh as well...but different

Without the buttcap, I think the flared butt would chip out pretty easily (I had a similar problem on a handle I did a while ago). Bone or horn would be great as well.

When I see grind lines on a 'production' blade it's a negative (JMHO) but on something like this it just shows the maker's hand in the work, kinda like a forge finish that way.
