LOVE this one!! I'm a big fan of checkered handled knives. Thanks for posting!
 
Thanks for sharing examples of your work. It's very inspiring to see another mans culture expressed with such a sense of art and utility. Love your leather work as well.
 
Art Deco style to somehow diversify severe classics. Wootz, blued steel, artificial tusk.

Beautiful spear.
I like that one almost as much -or better- than the bear daggers on page one.
 
Usually there is a 'cross pin' or the like perpendicular to the haft to guard against an animal slipping up the spear - is this not deemed necessary here or is it omitted for aesthetic reasons?
 
Thanks!

Cross pin used to wild boar spears, to bear usually not.

Thanks!
Yesterday bought a real Russian bear dagger 19th century, made in Vorsma. Will be restored.
