I have always been fascinated by Magnus Axelson's creations. He is so talented. His pieces are work of art. No surprise that he won so many awards and championships.
I contacted Magnus (top bloke he is!) a while ago to see if he would be interested in making me a bushcraft knife. I was looking for something practical but also very much eye pleasing. Here is the result of many drawings, discussion about materials, grind, heat treatment and finish.
I feel so fortunate to have this masterpiece. Thank you Magnus if you read this post!
Specification:
Blade: 3.5mm 14c28 stainless steel Hollow grind
Bolster: Damasteel
Handle: Stabilized Birchburl
Liners: Filed Bronze
Sheath: Custom to the knife with Damasteel Badge
Magnus has been kind enough to take pictures along the process, so enjoy...
The finished piece!!
