I love this style of knife, plain, strong and functional. Some knife makers seem to make elaborate knives just for the sake of it. This one has an earthy old fashioned vibe
Vacker kniv! Jag måste själv testa att göra en med hornhandtag, har bara gjort handtag i trä, näver och läder tidigare. Jag har använt horn som en bricka men inte till hela handtaget och slidan. Mycket fint arbete.
I'm working on an elk antler sheath.My files are crappy and won't remove the outer surface so I had to use my belt sander.Then for the grooved section at the top end of the sheath I used a Dremel tool with a cutting tool to make the grooves then used a file to clean it up.Now I'm soaking the leather.then time to do the stitching.
Why do you attach plastic wrap to the handle?I have a section of elk antler I want to try making a sheath like you made.For the leather belt loop I wet the leather strip then twist it adding clamps at the ends so the leather remains twisted.Thanks for the video it could be used as a guide when I make my own.
Hello, thank you very much for your great video ... like to watch you at work and have been able to implement a lot for me, you also live in an area where you can get enough material. Let’s give you a thumbs-up for your great posts and subscribe so that I don’t miss anything. Greetings from Düsseldorf, Michael 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Michael, thank you very much! I'm glad that you like my videos and that you find them helpful in your own knife making. Thank you for watching and for subscribing. That encouges me to make more 😊 greetings from Finnish lapland
Beautifully done! Makes me nervous to hang such a nice piece of work and important tool on such a thin leather loop though. I know that is common in Scandinavia though, do you know the reason?
Hi, thank you for watching and commenting and for the nice words. Yes, it's very common to use leather loops to hang knives on the belt with. Leather is very strong and you can't really tear it apart even if you try. The leather loop I used on this knife is considered actually quite wide and thick, so no problem at all to use with your knife.
love the video. and the workmanship. My name is Tom. I am a new member from over in North Dakota U.S.A. I have been a bladesmith for over forty years. but have just started, well for the last 3 years. Been learning the ways to make my favorite of knifes, the Puukko, and more of my Sami background. will you let me know what the brand. or type of white glue you are using please. I have been always using 2 part epoxy on my antlers for years. it holds great. but i have always been unhappy with the line where the two pieces of antler come together. it always turns out a bit dark. Also. is it true that if you soak an antler in a cold running stream for a year, that it will leach all the blood out, and leave the antler totally white? Keep up the great work. one thing that would be great is a video pointing out all of the parts of a knife and sheath, with the English and Sami words for them.
Hi Tom, nice to meet you. That is is a very interesting background you have. Do you know from which country your sami/sápmi heritage is from? I know there was an interesting period when reindeer herds were shipped over from Alta in northern Norway to Alaska in order to introduce the reindeer there and also teach the locals to herd and keep them. The whole adventure was to assist with a famine there. A sapmi man was hired to herd the reindeer and he selected a group of other sapmis for the task. Some of them found the new country promising and decided to stay. But maybe you already new this 😊 www.environmentandsociety.org/tools/keywords/introduction-reindeer-alaska
As for your questions. Bleached antler. Yes this is true. I have not done this myself but I have found many an antler in lakes and streams that have been completely whitened and also on the softer side. The glue I use is of the brand Dana Lim, a danish company. I use the winter glue and yes it does turn "invisible" upon drying. www.danalim.com/product-catalogue/construction/wood-adhesives/wood-glue-winter-465/
About the names of different parts in sapmi and english, this would be interesting. I'm not Sapmi myself but I have many friends who are. I have photographed a great deal of handcrafted knives for the museum Ajjte in Jokkmokk, Sweden. Perhaps you will find them on their site collections.ajtte.com/web
Hi Fjellstorm, no it won't. The blade is guided by the antler sheath. Also, if the leather is properly tight fitting, you can't just pull the knife straight out in one movement. You need to first pull it gently out of the 'grip' and then pull it out entirely. The blade is guided by the antler most of it's length. You would have to draw the last quarter of the blade almost in 90 degrees angle to touch the leather. This of course if the sheath is made well. Leather sheaths combinations with other materials have been made for thousands of years.
@@VahidCullsberg I'd have to make a RUclips video showing my work.It will be a slide show.I'll leave you a link to the RUclips video.It shows how I made my knives.
Hi again William, I replied to your other comment about the glue and paste. Thanks, I am Swedish with Swedish parents, born in Africa in Tchad, grew up in the Centralafrican Rep. Lived in Belgium, France, Faroe Islands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and currently in arctic Finland with my wife and 2 huskies. Short answer is, I'm Swedish by nationality 😄
Hi William, yes I'm so sorry. I remember that now. It completely slipped my mind to answer. The glue I use is wood glue by a danish company called Dana Lim. It's a glue for low temp usage. It's applicable to -10c. The paste I used is grease that I made myself. It's pork fat mixed with tar. I use it to weather proof the leather. The tar also gives a darker look to the leather and brings a nice smell to it.
Thank you for sharing your professional " secrets " with me. I will try to mix up my own paste. I have another passion besides guns and knives and it is good music. Please, if you can find time, go on RUclips and type in this :. Finlandia, The Nordic Male Choir Festival in HARPA in Reykjavík, Iceland. Finlandia ís one of the most beautiful songs ever written. When you hear this version, you may have to stop work because of the tears in your eyes. My father was Icelandic and I lived in Reykjavík for many years. Finlandia forever, Valid, my new friend.
Hi William, my new viking friend. Thank you for your nice comment again and for introducing the choir to me and that version of finlandia. My wife and I just listened to it now. Truly beautiful and touching! Ps. You probably already assumed it..but the pork fat has to be melted in low heat and filtered from residue before mixing in the tar. To make it more "hard" you can add bees wax or spruce resin/pitch.
Please forgive me for misspelling your name. I guess I was in too much of a hurry. Somehow I knew that you would appreciate the Finlandia at Harpa in Reykjavík. Each time I listen to it, the hair rises on my arms and I want to weep at the beauty of it. Yes, I definitely have my Viking father's blood, and I have my mother's American heart. Ok, Vahid, I'm going to listen to Finlandia once again before I go in for the night. It's midnight here in Jacksonville, Florida where I live now. Thank you for getting back to me.

True, there are loads of elaborate and flimsy knives out there...
Excellent and looks fantastic. Thank you for showing your skilled work 👌👌👌👌
Hi Richard, thank you for your kind comment and for watching.
Well you are very skilled this is the truth. Thank you 👏👏👏👏
Great! Now I know what to do with all those Moose antlers we have laying around in Texas...!
🤣 go for it! I envy you
I just came across this video. I really like how that turned out! Very nice work my friend.
Thanks so much! I'm also happy the video crossed your path and you ended up liking the knife 😊🙏
Vacker kniv! Jag måste själv testa att göra en med hornhandtag, har bara gjort handtag i trä, näver och läder tidigare. Jag har använt horn som en bricka men inte till hela handtaget och slidan. Mycket fint arbete.
Tack ska du ha. Ja, det tycker jag att du bör göra. Det är ett roligt och utmanande ämne att jobba med.
Great idea . Happy trails
Thanks 👍

Hi, thank you for your question. The plastic wrap is to protect the handle from unecessary moisture due to the leather being wet.

If you pull the knife out isn’t the blade getting contact with the leather?
Hi Fjellstorm, no it won't. The blade is guided by the antler sheath. Also, if the leather is properly tight fitting, you can't just pull the knife straight out in one movement.

Dude awesome work. Is it for sale if so how much
Hi Randy, thank you for watching and for your nice comment. This knife is sold already. But I will make more. I sell for 200€
I finished the sheath.Came out okay.Do you do any scrimshaw art on the antler section?
Nice! Hiw can we see your work? So far I haven't done any scrimshaw. But it's definitely on my list.
@@VahidCullsberg I'd have to make a RUclips video showing my work.It will be a slide show.I'll leave you a link to the RUclips video.It shows how I made my knives.
I watched the video on your channel. So you were making many knives simultaneously? Looks good 👍
@@VahidCullsberg No,just one knife at a time,mostly puukko knives,then a Lauri leuku(Sami knife)plus I make the sheaths for them.
Super ! 👍👍👍👏👏
Danke schön 😊

I wondered about the glue and also the dark colored paste you used at the end. Was it a grease or a stain ?
