lovely! - that must have taken a while to get the join of the contrasting wood in the handle right, top job mate!

Liking that - very sweet but functional - the walnut / antler mix is very original in the join. Like that a lot

Thank you guys. Great that you like it becouse i am very satisfied with it. Yes it take some time to make it pretty much sawing and sanding.

I tend to make clean and relativily advanced allround and hunting knives, i think it depends on that i want to make knives that are going to be used but still nice to look at, its not so good becouse its hard to charge for the time spent with the knife. LOL thats life.

Awesome.... Everytime i see a post by Seved, and there's a pic attached, it's going to get checked out!

I really like your work!.. you've been an inspiration to keep things elegantly simple and still be a first-hand user knife.

Kudos... you just gave me an idea for this left over antler and g-10!!

Thank you!

Very nice knife indeed, Seved! You made it a real elegant knife, without any decorations, inlays, file work etc. I love it! :)

That is a fine looking blade.

I looked at your knives and you are absolultly going in the right direction. If you not have any papper pattern on the blade try to use that. In the same size as the blade and use tape to hold it against the blade. And try not to use, to much leather just as much as you have.

The method shown is very similiar to how I am doing them now I have a booklet on it from Thomas Lofgren which is very good i think and I have learned a lot from it.
Thanks for your help and coments :D

How do you get that pattern on the sheath? Is it dabbed with acid?
seved

brancho: Okey good.I spoke to him on the phone a couple of weeks ago. He is realy nice. And a realy a good knifemaker, He is winning many competions in sweden.

sharp88: I wrap the paper around the knife and push the paper against the blades "edge" so it leaves a pattern on the paper, then i go up to the handle and take the folded paper and hold it tight around the handle, then i push the paper against the belly, the middle of the belly. Against the hole handle belly so it leaves marks on the paper, then i put out the knife and write with a pen in the marks both the blade marks and handle marks. I hope you understand if not just ask i try to explaine.
