I made a Viking axe with the Ansuz rune on it. For scandi knives and axes I use the runes and you did a good job. I like the scandi knives and yours is nice, 1080+ steel huh? I have never used it but others tell me it is better than 1080 a little so that's a plus. You at least etched your runes in and that is good, better than a dremel. A clean polish on the blade looks very good and I love the handle materials, but never cared for the shape you went for. The white grooves are just a bit too pronounced. To me, please understand, that's just me. I would have kept the handle in the shape of your average scandi, smooth and a palm swell. That is the only critique I have and some would disagree. Besides that your knife would be perfect to me.
