We think alike!
However, (off-topic a moment) I won't take food advice from someone that prefers pickled herring, boiled eggs and potatoes to Cornish Pasties - the Swedes cannot criticize any other culture's cuisine
Those are the starters only....
Fermented herring, thinly sliced ‘almond potatoes ( an arctic potato variety), sliced raw onion in a thin bread wrap.
Now we are talking food for Heroic Men and Long Suffering Women!
Back to topic:
If anybody knows a Bronze smith ( correct name?) that can do a commisioned knife blade, then I would like to have his/her details.
Tin should be fairly easy to mine, it comes as tiny granules I think?
The Copper is more difficult I think.
In my treks in the Swedish wilderness, I have come upon granules of bog iron many times in the streams. Like blobs of very rusty rust. Rust red on the outside, black heavy rust (?) on the inside.
How they reduced to Iron it in the past I do not kmow.
Tin and Copper is much easier.
Important to get the alloy correct though.
