Viking eating knife.

[AlexI]

Hi all,

I recently rediscovered CKD forums after some period of inactivity in my knifemaking (caused by work and a newfound gun hobby), and was really glad to find this new forum!
Historical inspiration is what is driving most of my knife projects lately, and I though this is the perfect forum to show off my last knife - inspired by certain type of small Viking knives (they had a very distinctive sheath construction actually, the knives themselves appear to have been rather plain).

I put together a page with some pictures (including one of the archaeological finds that provided the inspiration for the project) and a rather long winded description. Take a look, and I hope it will start some discussion!
