Oh btw, its not finished at all. Its currently at a 100 grit. Heading for 1200.

The blade is not into the shaft 100 % either.

Will post more pics when finished

Johan,
It looks like you have a good start to a beautiful and useful knife. I have always enjoyed the Scandanavian style blades.

This' how far ive gotten;

The pic didnt bring the polished really good. It sits really good in the hand. The burl is damn hard and the wax really gives a shiny look.
