Ive bought some Mora blades, as if you dont try them all how else do you know what you like?

These are the 82 and 60 laminated and spike tangs.



There is no screw part on the back so I assume it needs to be gently hammered to make a rivet fit. Thats fine, is it best to buy the cup for the rivet or simply make one? If its best to buy one, where from in the UK? IF make one, what is best to make it from?

I dont mind the challenge of any, so please let me know what your best advice would be if you made it. Any other advice on these blades or my new 5" Sami blade would also be good, its best to ask and get it right, than feck it up and not do it justice.... Thank you all in advance and for all my help so far... you guys are awesome, I would hug you but people would talk :D ]]> Scandinavian Blades...

Want to show you my latest work. I tried to make one in the shape of what i've been asuming to be a norwegian style "brukskniv" (User?):confused2 . Blade is 9.5 cm Maikhel Eklund in AEB-L, handle is made of nickel silver, red fiber and stabilized maple burl. Will start on the sheath next week.

Hope i hit the style i wanted. Comments and critism are welcome! Thanks for watching!:)

Blade made by Robert Mattsson in Sandvik 12c27.

Yew from an old tree job, mates favorite brand of ally beer can as spacers with local Birch bark between, and a buffalo spacer. The Bolster is made from a wilcos letter box flap. First time ive used horn and I like the material. I was going to use thick black leather but ive run out.
The blade is a 80mm long x 21mm deep x 2.5mm thick Karesuando knife

Just finishing the sheath and I can deliver :) ]]> Scandinavian Blades...

The blade is a Polar 95 from Brisa, £9. I have not included the postage as this was part of a larger order some time ago. The bolster was cast from a melted Pewter tankard bought from a boot sale for a pound. There is enough pewter left for another 5 of this size. I had a small Elm tree growing at the end of the garden. It died a couple of years ago, I cut it down to about 5 feet and just left it. The handle is made from a piece of that, Left standing for that time it had dried out and was quite hard.
The spacer is black vulcanise, After shaping the handle it was dyed with dark oak stain and treated with Danish oil. It was made chunky enough to be used with or without gloves.
I have no pretensions that this Skandi looks good, but it is a knife made to be used without worrying about whether it will get marked or damaged. The Cost? About £9.00 for the blade and 20 pence for the pewter. Every thing else I had lying around.
I am constantly amazed at the skill of you guys, some of the knives are breathtaking. But sometimes all you need is a knock about knife you don't have to worry about.

I have done a design and the guy who its for likes it but I was thinking of chanding it.



The bolster is staying as buffalo horn it will have metal spacers but I am thinking of using a crosscut piece of palmwood instead of the second piece of buffalo horn.
