Finished a couple knives recently. These may go into the swap pool, I am not sure yet.... a puukko style knife made with a viking blade and a Loveless style hunter. Both have bocote, the puukko also has some macasar ebony to match a bow I am working on while the Loveless has some of my very first attempted mosaic pins. The Loveless sheath is my best work yet, it is hard getting those stitch lines straight without a sewing machine. Designed, cut, sewed, wet formed, etc. all by hand. Next up is the puukko sheath which will be another first, a puukko/ Scandinavian style dangler sheath.

Size and balance are good:
