Two knives based on blades made by Finnish smith Jaaranen with the rest of the build by me. Both using pacific yew in handle built with through tang, epoxy and peened over butt cap. Both have leather over wood core Scandinavian-style sheath based on old designs. Both are about 3" BL, 8" OAL. First "I'll take it" in this thread, specifying which one, gets it. No trades.
This first knife, the puukko, has handle of pacific yew and wrought iron with leather spacers. Wrought iron is blackened. Sheath has clip. Asking $SOLD shipped US.
Second one, the skinner, is also based on a blade made by Finnish smith Jaaranen with the rest of the build by me with handle of pacific yew and bronze with leather spacers. This one has a small crack in the handle, see second pic, which looks worse than it really is. The crack was in the wood after drying, I didn't want to sand it out because it would have narrowed the handle beyond what I wanted. I filled it with CA and IMO does not compromise functionality. Still, its there, so I'm only asking $SOLD shipped US.
