One last knife for this year! And I can finally put down the hammer, for a few days

It's a nordic style knife with a few innovations, not tipical from me.
The over all length is 32.5 cm.
The blade is 19.5 cm long, 3 cm wide and 4.5 mm thick. It is forged of S80 and L6 tool steels.
The handle is copper, bone, oak and leather.

Thanks, but what does perkons mean?

I first came across this word when chatting with Jakobs from John Neeman when he was doing a sheath for the Scandi knife.
It was this very same knife:

The logo, as they called it as Martin represents light and fire (in Baltic it's known as Jumis) in Latvian folklore.

As i dug deeper,i found that many engravings resembled the pattern that you have on your sheath and handle and the closest i could come up to was:

Doesn't it look very similar to the Perkons, better known as God of Thunder or Thor?

This Perkons thing is very intersting! I must dig a little deeper in the matter.
The wrap is called the hangman's knot - I think It ain't too complicated too make, but it is quite usefull
