Hi guys.
I just wanted to show you my latest knife.
The handle is made of Holm Oak,alternative amber,bronze and pewter,
and the blade is made by a local smith named Johan Gustavsson.

I hope you like it. :) / J.P

Those metal spacers are beautiful. How did you get the bronze and pewter mixed like that?

I would like to buy some spacer material like that! Lovely work.

Excellent knife J.P. :happy65:

Re the blade, has Johan started making simpler blades again, I though he had stopped to concentrate on his more complex work?
I notice it's marked jg , on the ones I have they are marked "johan" only.

That's really nice but the amber sets it apart.

Good stuff!

It's not the same Johan. The guy who made the blade for my knife is a 29 year old "Hobby blacksmith".....still he makes nice blades. /JP

Both the knife and sheath look excellent. One question though, is there a reason for the fairly long ricasso part, in my experience that can sometimes be in the way when using the knife.
