Description: This is the sort of piece that makes you feel like you are in another time. Pick it up, close your eyes, and feel yourself back in the distant past, on a Viking long ship. Anders has created a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The wooden sheath alone is spectacular. Finding such a large piece of masur birch with such excellent figuring is extremely rare. The wire wrapped technique used on the handle is extremely difficult to master and has been executed perfectly. Even the sterling end piece of the sheath was cast to shape. The Damascus pattern is beautifully balanced across the grind.
