I'm sorry Michiel, that isn't a secondary bevel but a polished convex edge after grinding to zero. I asked Abe about that myself and he stated he did this on a slack belt grinder to polish the edge and remove any burned material from the scandi grind. If you have any questions you can contact...

Last weekend while my son Ruhl was out training the sled dogs it was my job to make camp and of course a campfire. One of our sledding partners had brought some firewood but it was kind of blocky stuff. He asked, "Hey we need to split this up, you got a hatchet?" "No," I replied, "but I...

Dougster, the handle is actually Natural Micarta. When I got that knife a couple of years ago I was amazed at the actual look of the handle, it was hard to tell if it was bone, wood or what. Abe does a beautiful job of finishing on his knives and his handles don't get short shrift. I think as...

Red, if you are looking for big knife/small knife combos you might try contacting Abe Elias at Diving Sparrow Knifeworks. His Savannah and Savannah Jr. combo (top and bottom knife in this pic) are super! If you are interested in something a bit heavier I'm sure he could work up something...

On/Scene Tactical (Canada) does a nice kydex sheath for the #4, and I'm sure you could discuss with him the possibility of attaching it directly to the waist belt of your bergen or some other method of mounting it for your comfort. They can be reached at...

Got mine from Kellam years ago. I don't know if they still have them but it might be worth a look.

Michiel, Abe uses all kinds of handle materials including some beautiful woods and other synthetics like Micarta. His polished black paper Micarta looks astonishingly like buffalo horn. You can see his work at: http://home.cogeco.ca/~aelias/

There are those who know me well and know that I am not a thin blade Scandi kinda guy. I can however be persuaded when I find something that really catches my eye, and has a practical aspect to it. Such is the case with my new knives from Abe Elias (Diving Sparrow Knifeworks). First and...

I currently carry this knife from our own CanRanger (Diving Sparrow Knifeworks). This knife has done it all and not needed a touch up yet. It went through last summers camping and a year of scout projects. Knives come and go from my collection but this will remain a favorite.

Abe makes a superior knife. As he stated we discussed the project after I had tested the original. I really liked the original but I felt that the balance could be improved by the addition of an inch or so to the blade. The point design is perfect for boring a hole in a fire board. You get...

Thanks for the information. That is as close as I have found to an accurate ID!

I recently bought this knife at a knife show. It clearly seems to be an Eriksson (from the style of handle), but it is marked "Normark - Sweden - Stainless" on the blade. The sheath features a stylized Viking on it. The blade is the same thickness as the Mora 2000 (also an Eriksson product)...

After many months and much anticipation a project that I have been waiting on has finally come to fruition. Back last spring I met up with Abe Elias (some of you may know him as “Canranger”) at the Wolverine Knife Collectors show in Novi, Michigan. Abe is an old friend and has been making...

Thanks Schwert! Abe is a real artist who is still just becoming known. I agree his paddles are things to be-hold and to hold. His prices are quite reasonable as well. I have no connection with his business other than to say I consider him a friend.

Most of my knives (at the moment) have been replaced by this one:

Nick, Abe doesn't have a web-site up for his knives yet; however if you look under the Diving Sparrow Paddle Company you will find his canoe paddles which are also excellent. Thanks for all the great compliments guys. Abe is extremely talented and a great guy to work with.

Some months ago I attended the Wolverine Knife Collectors show in Novi, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit). I met up with several friends who are also avid collectors and one of them is also a knife maker. His name is Abe Elias. For those who occasionally cruise through Bladeforums or Knifeforums...

I haven't owned mine long enough to need to sharpen it yet. I was very lucky when travelling through Seattle WA a couple of weeks ago they had them on sale at one of the sporting goods chain stores called "Big 5" for $25! I couldn't resist and took one along. Good luck with yours, they...

No, not my real name, but one I acquired in college. I liked it better than T.J. Hooker or Adam Twelve... :lmao:

Gee I hope it was okay that I said that you recommended me? :lmao: Seriously, thanks for the welcome. I always love hearing ideas from a different perspective. This should be a great education!
