NEWS

In this section you’ll regularly find various announcements and tips related both to the website and to my work. I’ll also share snapshots from ongoing projects so you can see what I’m currently working on. 🙂 This section is shared for both knives and jewelry, but for those who would prefer them separated, I’ll add a filter later on.  I’m working on it. 🙂

GARRY BEARCLAW

Hi everyone… I started working on this bowie almost a year ago. I expected it to be finished after the summer holidays, but other things got in the way. Anyway, I only tracked my time for the first two months and then lost count, so I’d estimate around 10–12 weeks of work on it. Some parts were pretty tricky.

It’s an absolute beast — nearly half a meter (20´´) overall, kind of a “bear-paw” chopper, I’d say. 😃 😃 😃 It bit my hand during the progress so i call him – GARRY BEARCLAW 🙂 Hope you like it, and next year I’ll be looking forward to seeing you with more nice custom works. 🙂

Dimensions: 48/32 cm (18.9/12.6″), widest point on the ch. is 65 mm (2.56″), thickness 7 mm (0.28″). Materials: twisted multi-bar “mosaic” damascus and Arizona ironwood.

CHRISTMAS MJÖLNIRS

Hi everyone 🙂
Before Christmas, I forged five pieces of Thor’s hammers from stainless damascus steel. I think they turned out beautifully, so if you’re looking for a nice gift for someone, feel free to message me. Time flies fast, and in just a few weeks I won’t be able to make more in time for Christmas or Yule 🙂 So better a bit early than too late…

You can find more information, including prices, on my website in the “Other Jewelry” section.
For now, take care — and if you’re interested, don’t hesitate to reach out. I can easily send a photo or a short video of the current pieces I have in stock.

FORGING BIG S-GUARD BOWIE – 2

Continuation on the large S-guard bowie. I had an injured finger, but it’s completely healed now, so over the past few weeks I’ve been working on the guard. It’s forged, fitted, roughly shaped, hardened, and ground. Everything looks fine at this stage, so next week I’ll start working on the final shaping and the volutes at the ends of the guard’s arms.

I’ve done several tests and haven’t decided yet on the final shape, though I do have a general idea. We’ll see how it turns out – if all goes well, I’ll share another photo from the process. Wish me luck, and see you soon!

SATISFIED CUSTOMER

This photo was sent to me by a satisfied customer, apologizing that the jewelry isn’t very visible. I told her it doesn’t matter at all – I have plenty of photos of jewelry, but there can never be too many photos of beautiful women! 🙂 Especially when they’re adorned with my jewelry. 🙂
