I have lots of little bits and pieces.

Wow Alf you certainly must have an amazing amount of self control. Mind you I thought I had a fair bit until I saw what some of these other guys have...

I see you've got quite some danish blades ;D Mogens L Svendsen, Poul Strande, Jørn Lund, Steen Nielsen (Dane but lives in Oslo, Norway...)
Not so strange you've got yourself a nice shoebox filled with blades ;D

My name is Kristian and I have a scandi addiction

I tend to go for the 'hammered' look as it shows these blades are hand made rather than mass produced, they just seem a little more personal as no two will be identical

No, it means you have to buy / make even more Scandi :-)

[MeetTheGeeks]

Thank you for the continued support from everyone. I started a thread for this knife to avoid breaking into the therapy thread.

I must confess, forgive me father for I have sinned, its been my entire life since my last confession so to cut it short, I bought a new knife today and the wife is not happy.. I told her you all made me do it... which is good for me, but not good for you lot and Im sorry ('ish) and owe you all a beer at the next therapy meeting.

[Rich S]

Don't worry about the wife; you can always find another one of those, but a good knife is really hard to find :-)

(and you thought you needed counseling :-)

Least a knife wont leave you and take the house!!

May I just add that a knife can actually drive a car!!

(PS While she is not looking, I get to sleep with my knife EVERY night!! rofl)

Funny how things turn out. Just this morning I was thinking of buying another Brusletto blade when I read this thread. Why? Well rather unexpectedly I've been told I have to go back to Norway on business which gives me the ideal opportunity to get another one. Having just finished my first knife I'm now torn between buying the same blade and therefore making a similar(ish) knife or going down a different route. After finishing the first one I was thinking more of a bushcraft knife.

Back to the original point... I know I'm addicted. It happens with everything I do:

• Car restorations
• Stove making
• Canoes

And now knives.

Gibbo.

[belabear]

gibbo, yes it begin with one scandi

then you make a second, a third and suddenly no spare room left in your workroom because there is wood and antler and metall sheets and whatever everywhere

fortuneately i have a wife who thinks that´s better for me than sitting the whole weekend behind my computer!!

cheers

May I just say that when in the workshop now I always ALWAYS take the laptop with me, and simply tell her Im looking at "adult material" and she doesnt mind that.. GO FIGURE!!
