…to build a knife 🙂 since I hasn’t made any knives for a while, I thought that I start with a small one 😉

a very nice little blade in mars-steel, grinded by Robert Mattsson is just perfect 🙂

and some purple birch burl and a black pice of crosscut masurbirch for the handle 🙂

here we go…

…in the same day!!! 🙂

thought that I should show the inlays in the front and in the back of the handle to 🙂

…and a leathersheath, that’s what I got to do for this knife now 🙂

handle in reindeer antler, swedish whitebeam and birchroot.

…isn’t ready yet 😦  so it have to be the 2013 years Christmasknife 🙂

have done a inlay in the butend with reindeer antler and swedish white been, just got the finaly polish left to do

and ofcourse a leather sheath (sick)

…to throw out the Christmastree, and start to make some knives 🙂

…trying to get any more knife finished this year 😦

one of the reasons you will se below:

a bare christmastree

hopefully I’ll be making new knives, and finish some that I’ve already started during 2012! 🙂

until then I’ll wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🙂

…with Christmas so I hardley got time for knifebuilding 😦

just started to form the handle of the purple one during a short while today 🙂

but I’m sure it will not get finish this year 😦

…are glued together 🙂

but I have to wait till next week before I have time to start to shape the handle 🙂

…since I promised to show what I’ve done with the handle 🙂

so here comes some pictures of that:

what remaines for me is to find some time to make a sheath for this one now 🙂
