Summer is coming to its end here in the northern parts of Sweden but I managed to at least start on some knives, completed some laser orders and managed to squeeze in some party and good food too!

Thanks for this year @knivexpo at Vadstena castle, what an event, 70+ knife makers and material exhibitors!

Some blades ready for the summer shows

10 knives closing in on being finished

Laser engraving some blades.

Latest from the workshop in stainless AEBL and stabilized birch handles!

Let me know if you are interested in any of them

Latest finished!

Marry X-mas to all the makers out there!

An older bowie that I still have at home for some reason, at the time it was a huge challenge and my second or third freehand grinded blade ever :) flat bar laminated by Swedish maker Fredrik Spåre then ground, heattreated and etched by me, bolster in bronze and carved handle in stabilized boxelder.

Cooking and knifemaking have a lot in common.

Both often require planning and precision but sometimes just running with the flow is what's needed to move forward!

How do you look at food vs knifemaking?

Some hamon prepp and cleanup of an older petty/chef knife.

Latest equipment to my small workshop, an old portable coal forge with foot pedal driven fan :)

Ohh and we got snow and -15C/5F last day :)

Slowly moving forward with a pair of breadknives.

Preparing some knives and sending out a couple of blades to customers, will try to have 15 completed knives before x-mas!

For anyone wanting to order a custom knife before X-mas now is the time!
