Hi All,
Been a while, had some back issues that kept me from the grinder. Here we have 4 Scandinavian knives that I made over the last 9 days though I did take a few days off during that time.
All knives are true Scandinavian grinds meaning they are trapezoidal. Long taper to the bottom and tapered to the spine. This gives rigidity and strength to the blade. All are hidden tang which extends almost to the end. Where you see metal bolsters front and back they are screwed on. Tapped before the HT. All have 5 inch blade with no secondary bevels. If you do not know what that means please ask. In a nut shell it means that they are scary sharp. All come with slip in sheath no snap needed, the sheath comes up on the handle.
The top 3 in the first image are made from 7/32 AEB-L HT to a Rockwell of 59 the bottom one is made from CPM-S35- VN HT to a Rockwell of 60 and is absurdly sharp.
The specifics: Top one (from the first image)

Handle material from the front to the back is Jamaican Lignum Vitae, Grapefruit wood Lace wood Grapefruit and the Butt is Lignum Vitae again
