Description
This knife was made in collaboration with the fellow bladesmith Bruno Malagi.
He skillfully forged the blade out of almost 1300 layers of 15N20 and 5160 steels and then I made the handle, the sheath and the ferrule.
The wood used is ebony and the ferrule is a piece of 100-200 years old wrought iron from England.
The carvings were all made using a rotary tool and carving knives and depicts Urnes style animal and tendril ornamentation.
Overall length (withouth the sheath): 41,3cm.
Overall length (with the sheath): 44,0cm.
Blade length: 26,0cm.
Blade width: 4,1cm.
Sheath width: 4.5cm.
Blade thickness at the ricasso: 0,5cm.
