Mission completed

Hello everybody,

This is my very first try to make a scandi handle. I bought everything from Brisa in Finland.
Blade is from blacksmith Kay Vicstrom. The steel used is Bohler with C 0.8%. Hardness is 58. Blade length is 98 cm.
I asked Kay for the specific details of the steel by mail and he answered within a day. I think that is high service!
The antler i used is reindeer with black leather spacers. Buttcap, lanyardhole and bolster are stainless steel. Wood is curly birch.

The only thing i am not so pleased with is the color of the antler. I was hoping for a more white color.

Anyway, here is the result. I hope you like it. Comments and advice for future projects are more than welcome!

Bert

Thats an outstanding piece of work. I actually like the color of the antler, the slightly darker color offsets the light color of the birch.

Very nice!
