san mai puukko

[hellize]

It is 19.5 cm / 7.7 inch long, the blade is 9.5 cm/ 3.75 inch long with a thickness of 4 mm / 0.15 inch.
It is a san mai damascus with 200 layers, which I hand forged from 5160, L6 and 1.2516. The handle is made of deer antler, walnut and stabilized wood.
The sheath is made of 4 mm/ 0.15 inch thick, sturdy cowhide.

Again you do outstanding work! Rare to find a maker that excels in both the knife and the sheath.

You are way to frivolous with your words, my friend. But thank you very much, none the less!

Not at all frivolous, just ask my wife! A bit curious about your maker mark. Could interpret as a cross or deer track. And maybe it’s both.

In that case, all my veneration, to your dear wife!
Indeed, it is both. The cross within a shield tells about my admiration of all things medieval, while the deer hoofprint comes from my childhood nickname: moose
