The handle is made of curly birch with bolsters of sand cast bronze, filed to shape. The sheath is made of veg.tanned leather with wood lest inside, I added a gold decoration of birch leaves. The belt strap is typical for my work with the leather button and brass ring...

Michael D. wished from me a Jääkäri Puukko. I created for him this one, called Matti. The blade is forged from a file, the handle is from curly birch, the bolsters are sandcasted in bronze and filed in shape. The sheath has a wood lest insert and is veg. tanned leather with a birch leaf motive in gold. The belt strap has my typical shape and button system over a brass ring.

Mörki is a commission for Jan-Erik S. who wished from me a high-end Office knife. I forged him a sanmai damascus blade with an UHC/tungsten damascus core. For the handle and scabbard we chose bog oak. In the handle I inserted a steel ring textured, blued and dotted with pure gold beads right behind a front piece of african blackwood.
