Hi and thank's.
I like carbon steel hardened to 59-60 hrc. 12c27 steel is also very good steel to users.

Great work!

Looks like you have some non-wooden handles there (?), if you have time I would love to hear what they are, and how they are to work.

Good stuff

Beautiful knives; the only problem I can see is that when it comes time to go out into the forest, and you must choose a knife you are going to be plagued with indecision. "This one? No that one! No wait, that one over there! LOL

I love all of them!

Beautiful craftsmanship, Kalervo69, and an inspiration just to see them.

I think you should send me 1 or 2, as they can go bad if not used regularly.

 

[TinkyPete]

WOW.

What an awesome set of knives great craftsmanship and thing of real beauty. I especially like the etched handled ones. Some amazing sheaths too.
