Here is the knife that I consider my favorite that I have made so far.
The design is about three years old, the blade was forged two years ago and was re-etched about one year ago!

Blade is forged by my friend Göran Enocksson from my design.

The oxidized bronze bolsters are engraved by Mahikel Eklund,
One side with an old style compass rose and the other with part of an old seachart.

Mammoth ivory is from our own cromdubh, thanks mate!

Scales and bolsters have oxidized bronze and black fiber spacers.

Fileworked and slightly etched torx screws.

I wanted to show as much of the beautifull steel in the tang as I could.


The whole sheath is lined with thin brown leather and has a bronze detail with my stamp.


I am hopeing to be able to get better pictures of it soon...

Really like the "old" feel of the steel and I have done my best to do it justice.
Quite pleased with it I must say

What do you think?

I think its gorgeous and you did a good job:thumbup: I really like the sheath with it and the engraving in the handle looks very tastefull and not overdone.
 
I really like your style. Simplistic yet elegant. Always nice steel and handle material. And your sheaths are always works of art on their own. This is similar in design to the little hunter you posted not long ago.

I'm not sure this is my favorite of yours but very nice. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
