Hi Dennis
Nice to be greeted by a fellow countryman ;-) And thank you for the compliment.

- I made a Google search for homemade tools and ended up on LumberJocks. I really enjoy making tools/furniture/practical stuff. Next project will be a mallet (saw some nice pictures in the forums) and/or a stand/rack for cordless tools, I think.

Beautiful material and workmanship; welcome to LJs. This knife form is apparently Scandinavian, it looks like it needs a lanyard hole to my western eye. :-)

Very attractive knife. The way I can tell is, when I look at it, I can feel it in my hand, and I can see myself whittling with it. Very nice form to it and the contrast between the beutiful handle and dark blade makes me want to pick it up. Out of curiousity, how many hours did it take?

Thanks for your comments – yes, the style is Scandinavian; in Denmark we are typically inspired by our Norwegian and Swedish neighbours – and a lanyard hole in a Scandinavian knife would probably be a dead sin… ;-) (But I know a fellow knifemaker who made a combined knife/bottleopener for a customer….but I’m not totally convinced that the customer is always right).

It took me around 15-18 hours to finish the knife, the snakewood actually had a crack and I was very nervous that it would be a deep one. I gave it a rough treat on the belt grinder (36 grit – goes really fast) to be able to see quickly if I could continue with the snakewood or if I had to give it up. Luckily the crack wasn’t so deep and the knife turned out to be one of my best. Even if we hobbyists are often very hard judges on our own work we sometimes have to admit that some pieces actually turned out quite well :-)
