…spacers on this one 🙂

…to tease you, if that’s what you think 🙂

But during this project I will only show you close-ups of the progress of my current knife.

It’s my intention to finish it by the middle of october so that I can submit it to participate in

the Swedish Knife championship 🙂

and here is the first close-ups:

…in my workshop today, so that I could finished this knives.

First out is my 5:th Raven:

Blade by Michael Holmström. handle in spalted birch and bolster in stabilized masur birch.

and the second knife that got finished is that “strippled” one:

this knife got a blade by Anders Hedlund and handle in stabilized alder root, maple burl and brass spacers.

…the 5:th raven is dyed

but now I’m taken some days off and go to the mountains for some hikeing 🙂

…is over.

and the final result:

and now I will wait a few days before I take out the knives from the sheates 🙂

…some leatherwork done this weekend 🙂

it’s about time to get that 5:th raven dressed 😉

…the handle with tape for covering the “putty” from getting wet 🙂

…before the leather-woork 🙂

…into the wooden-liner?

well I will make the last adjusting when it’s time for the leather work 🙂
