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 "The gun fight at the O.K. corral was actually started by two saddlemakers sitting around a bottle of whiskey talking about saddle fitting"...
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 (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV) And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !
