Hi everyone
After quite some time, I finished this Viking-era inspired knife. The handle is a reindeer antler carved with a bird theme in mammen style. There are two birds protecting themselves with their wings and the wing theme should be seen on damascus pattern too. Therefore, I named it "Vaengrid" which should mean something like Wingshield. The owner's second name is related with some kind of bird, so I chose all this to make it as personal as I could .. So i hope you will like it and see you with another knife soon .
