Members oldtimer Posted January 25, 2010 Members Report Posted January 25, 2010 During Christmas I found an unfinished knife project , that I started making maybe 10 years ago, so I decided to get it done. The style of knife and sheath is a traditional Laplander (Sami) design, found all over Northern Scandinavia,(Sweden, Norway, and Finland. The blade is a Norwegien, Helle knife factory, laminated steel. The handle is made from reindeer antler and olive wood ( traditionally curly birch). The sheath is made of a reideer antler and the sheath leather is reindeer, with a special spruce bark tanning and with a rawhide core to keep it stiff. The knife is supposed to swing freely on the belt . / Knut Quote
Members WyomingSlick Posted January 25, 2010 Members Report Posted January 25, 2010 Interesting, but I have to ask: what is the function of the hook ( L or J shaped part of the sheath? Quote
