More eye candy, Swedish and Scottish

[ferguson]

This homemade dirk came from Ebay too. Carbon steel and stag, with no makers mark. It looks like a copy of a Scottish gralloch. Gralloch means to eviscerate an animal. Scottish hunters carried two knives, a short one for skinning, and a long one like this for butchering. I suspect it would come in handy for other things too.

This Swedish knife has a machine made blade of carbon steel, and some of the prettiest arctic birch I've ever seen. Reindeer antler pommel. Handmade I suppose, no markings. Thanks for looking.

Very nice catches!

Man, I have some Puukkos, but nothing like the grain in that particular piece of curly birch. And the sheath! Fantastic. That big Scottish knife is wonderful as well. Would that be classified as a dirk in that size? Great snags Steve. Wish I had your eye with the bargains and the camera as well.

Thanks for sharing.
