New knife

[SOAR]

Heres a few pics of my new knife it arrived today. Its made from curly Birch leather and antler. It is amazingly sharp, it could slice through a whole sheet of a1 paper.
better watch my fingers

That is sooo very nice! Some clean, elegant lines there and a sweet sheath. How about some more details? Like, who made it?

 

[SOAR]

There are some initials on the back of the sheath. KS. Other than that I dont know who made it.

Looks like a lauri blade. You're a very lucky man! Very nice knife and sheath.

Yeh I love the sheath, what is a lauri blade?. It also seems weird having the knife and sheath move around so much when it is on my belt, like it keeps letting you know that its there.

Thats a cracking looking proper Scandy. The only thing that looks a touch wrong (and I'm reaching for a problem here) is the brass bolster doesn't look the same width as the bone / antler above it. But its a super proper scandy.

Can I ask how much and where?

Looks like it was made by Kimmo Sorvoja, he makes lovely knives. You can buy them from Nordic Bushcraft.

Lauri blades is just a brand of knife blades. Just like helle, brusletto karesuando...

Nice knife Jonathan btw,

That particular one is'nt mine, but I do have one exacly like it. They are quite inexpensive too, I think I paid £40 for it. The curly birch sheath is a solid one piece construction and is really well made. The knife gives that satisfying click when it is pushed into the sheath.
