Beorning nobleman knife

Post by Gulli »

New knife I am working on and also a test if I can post here more.
This is a complex knife I am making in my Beorning style. It has sandwich construction with wrought iron sides, engraved and handle of maple, antler, bronze and garnets.
I am making sheath for it right now.

I truly appreciate your fine craftsmanship.
I don't think you could post too many pictures of your fine work.
More please.

Amazed!

I can easily see this as a knife as the first-generation Beorning noble, Steel from the Iron hills and Erebor would have flooded the market.

Well you already know that I love it Gulli. The layers of detail, from the bees and honeycomb through to the bear pommel cap.

I did wonder at leather being used given Beorns clear aversion to anything animal based in his home but then I remembered that he skinned a warg so I assume this is the leather of some similar fell beast?
But the white fury of the Northmen burned the hotter, and more skilled was their knighthood with long spears and bitter. Fewer were they but they clove through the Southrons like a fire-bolt in a forest.

Gulli thank you for the detail pictures of your beautiful work. Pictures are worth thousands of words.

A picture I think that would be most educational would be the knife and sheath surrounded by all the tools used to produce them.

Again well done from someone who has spent the last 50+ years making things in a small shop environment.
