Hej! Vilken modell tycker du baest om WWII ellr SN1? Taenkte jag kunde skriva paa svenska? Svara gaerna paa norska.Jag har nog aldrig haft tillfaelle att se norskt vardagsspraak skrivet.

Daniel

For those of you who dont speak any scandinavian language: I asked Seax about his opinion on the SN1 and the WWII.

Best regards
Daniel
 
Well, Craig thats probably Finnish,a finno-urgic language , not a scandinavian, so I haven't got a single clue about what you wrote.I do reconize "soumalinen" and I think it means "Finnish".

Sorry Sgt. D:

Det har gått en stund siden jeg var innom forumet, så du får unnskylde mitt noe forsinkede svar på spørsmålet ditt.

Jeg synes SN1 modellen er en god feltkniv, den er hendig for størrelsen, og fungerer bra som en feltkniv. Jeg har enda ikke kommet så langt som å investere i en WWII, men dette blir antagelig mitt neste kjøp. Noen kommentarer på denne kniven vil jeg derfor være takknemlig for. SN1- modellen skulle etter min mening vært utstyrt med ett større grep, noe jeg får føle når den spisse enden av Chaprien (bakstykket) graver seg inn i håndflaten. Jeg forstår at du har utført en del modifikasjoner på din BAS. Det ville derfor være av interesse om du kunne gi meg noen tips, angående dette.

To the rest of you guys, since you probably do not understand Norwegian; I was just making my apologies to Sgt. D for my absence from the forum.

Walk on.
 
Tack foer ditt svar Seax. Den enda modifikationen jag har gjort paa min BAS-kniv aer att jag har filat spetsarna, på Chaprien, lite runda. Du hittar en utfoerlig beskrivning av vad jag gjort med skidan paa HI forumet.

Hoppas att du inte har problem med att foerstaa min svenska.Jag begriper naestan all din norska, det aer bara noegot ord jag inte foerstar.

For you who dont speak any Nordic language:
Thanks for your answer, Seax. The only modification I,ve done to my BAS-knife is that I've filed down the points of the Chaprie,some.You'll find a thorough description of what I,ve done to the scabbard on the HI-forum .

Okey I didn't get that letters Å,Ä and Ö worked on the forum.So for you who have wondered why there was no Å,Ä and Ö in my swedish : Swedish doesn't contain some of the letter-combinations I've used.

Best regards Daniel

Seax, I think we'll take the rest in English. Much of it is probably interesting to our fellow forumites, I really appreciated reading some Norwegian though.

I liked the idea of a Viking-khukri and the pictures of the seax. I didn't know of these. Are they norwegian viking blades only, or were they common for all vikings?

Daniel
 
Sgt. I agree. Let's make the rest English.

Concerning the origin of the Sax, I believe it has its origin among the Saxon people of continental Europe. The Vikings adopted the design, as they recognised its usefulness. As far as I know, the Sax was in use by Vikings from all over Scandinavia, but especially among those who went abroad to serve under their Chieftains residing in the English/Irish settlements. In an excavation site at York (Coppergate), a Viking stronghold at the time, the remains of 300 such knifes was found. The Sax is described as a single edged blade with length from 7.5cm up to 75cm. (3-30 inches). The short ones being domestic tools, and the long ones being primarily a weapon. It would have a heavy V-shaped blade, with a broad back. The outline of the blade looks quite similar to a crude Bowie-type knife, especially in the smaller ones (like in that picture). The big ones would sometimes be fitted with the regular sword-type handle, wood wrapped in leather, sturdy crossguard, and pommels to counterbalance weight.

I find it very hard to obtain good pictures from the Internet, of this type of knife. So anyone that comes across one please let me know.

Concerning the Viking-Khukuri, Lt. Dan got me started. He always comes up with some inspiring idea. He asked me what a Norse-inspired Khukuri would look like. What do you think Sgt. D. What would it look like in your minds eye? If you got any ideas I think it would make us both happy.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to ramble on like this.

I think we share the thoughts about how a viking khukri would look. Emedeatly I thought of a dragonhead on the handle, and the blade,not too graceful but fast,powerful and deadly.And some dragon runes on the blade,but not to much,I'd like it to look like the blade of a warrior, not a king.
The idea with a piggybacked puuko-type knife is very good.Mabe we should give some respect to Tyr,the swordfighting God, by naming him in the runes.....

I'd like to say that the blade we are talking about here would have made the monks at Lindisfarne die from horror, instead of cuts.

I can feel the ancient blood swell in my veins,thinking about this.....


By the way, I found some info about the scramesax on the net. Now I know I've seen some of these blades in Visby,Gotland. By then I didn't recognize the blade as historical. I feel a little bit wizer now...

Goeiedag Sersant D! Ek wil darem net eers iets in Afrikaans, my moedertaal skryf, aangesien ek bemerk dat forumiete Skandinawiese tale gebruik. Ek wonder of daar iemand anderkant die groot water is wat verstaan wat ek hier skryf...

(I am saying Hi! to the forumites in Afrikaans, my home language. My latest acquisition is a GH Cheetlang. Actually, I'm still waiting for it to arrive. It was my knife of choice after many days of consideration and reconsideration. Best of luck to you all.)
 
Johan van Zyl:

I think I understood what you wrote in Afrikaans.I think it goes like this :

Godday Sergeant D. I want to greet you,writing in Afrikaans,my homelanguage, because I noticed that some forumites speak scandinavian. I wonder if anybody on the other side of the great water understands what I write here...

Am I right?

Best regards
Daniel
 
Right on the nose, Sgt. D!
He's great at this, isn't he, Craig?
Funny stories abound about different languages. In my own experience, I was at a phone booth in Winchester, England, a few years ago. I remarked to my colleague standing next to me, in Afrikaans, that I was wondering which way the card should be inserted to make the call. Then this guy walked by and stopped momentarilly at the booth, saying in fluent Afrikaans: "You put it in this way!" and walked on, leaving us staring at him in disbelief.
 
Well, Johan, I know English and some german and my language is swedish. I mixed these three languages and could understand what you had written. I would probably not have understood if you spoke to me though.

It's nice with these forums, you don't only learn about knives...
