Ok, it actually takes me much longer than this time lapse video.

Here I am making a Puukko sheath.

Just finished up a fresh batch of kitchen cutlery for Blade Show.

I'll be at table 36F.

Thought I'd try something different on the handle. What do you think about the red?

Just getting ready for Atlanta.

Thought I'd share this guy all oiled up.

Gotta love that Damasteel AB!

Come on by the Fire On the Mountain festival in Spruce Pine, NC tomorrow. It's always a good time!

I'll be setup there from 10-4.

It's always fun getting to heat treat Damascus steel.

I haven't posted in a bit, so I thought I'd come back with this modern take on the Puukko. This piece was forged out with some significant assistance from Jeff Bush and his rolling mill. Originally an end cut of Thor pattern Damasteel AB, it is now my spin on a Finnish Puukko.

Aluminum bronze bolster and end cap, TruStone spacer, and some beautiful curly maple that I toasted and stabilized in house. Yes! All right here in East Tennessee!

This beauty will be available after I get a sheath made.
