The knife is fine, but you have to do something with the picture size it takes forever to load, and it is four times bigger than my screen .

Very nice.

Not sure the purple thing does it any favours though and I can only see about a third of it at once. How about a new (smaller) picture on a plain background then we can get a proper look.

Hi JohanB,

what I can see is a very well done scandi with an excellent sheath.

BTW that camel bone looks outstandig! :approve:

And yes I know it will make it still longer to download this page but it will enable more people to appreciate the knife.

Johan.

It looks good, but I get the impression the picture doesnt do it justice....I bet it is even better in real life.


Not sure about that purple thing that the knife is resting on though?.....what ever it is :)

[clcuckow]

it looks like a massager to me.

[JohanB]

it is a massager......... Im not a good photographer :biggthump

[clcuckow]

Johan, If you want you can edit your original post to use my copy of your pic. Saves you scaling and uploading it yourself.

[narsil]

Ah that's better, very tasty, just the kind of knife I really like. The black and white works really well. Nice one. :biggthump

[Danzo]

That is one lovely purple massager!

:D

Very nice knife Johan. In English we would say you have an understanding for how the wood and steel flows and combines to become one thing together. I think there is a word in Norwegian that means this, but I cannot remember it......

:rolleyes:

Danzo "linjeføring" i think is what you are looking for here ;)
And yes that is very important in a knife IMHO :)

[JohanB]

Thanks guys for the nice comments!
