Handles made of curly grown birsh and moose antlers.
Sheaths have inlay of beaver tail.
 
totally agree with you.
 
@Peter Larsson those are some stunning knives. Im still very new to the hobby but your an inspiration. Would love to come over to Sweden one day and learn from you on the leather work and handle making. My leather work is crude to say the least
 
I just make knives because I think it's fun.
Just a hobby when there is nothing else to do.
Me too. I started when I had an enforced break from work during the summer. My problem is I always seem to have other bits and bobs to do but yes I love spending time in the garage playing with steel.
 
Beautiful work. I imagine you have plenty of free time between your winters and Covid?
Yes! My woork have been closed down for over a month. Hunting with my kind of dog ended last January so now I don't really what to do. Have hunted hare with friends some days this february.
Guess it will be some days in the garage knife makeing! Or maybe smoke some meat and make some sausages!
 
everything he makes is top drawer.
 
One more in "safari style".
This time a smaller one.
Sheath of cape buffalo leather and ostrich leg skin.
Handle of stabilized birsh burl.

Leather from the buff in my avatar and zebraskin.
Tri ed to get some safari feeling.
The ring knife have inlay of beaver tail skin is maybe not so "safariish!
 
beauties as always.
