Description: Michael Almqvist crafted his first knife at 15 years old. His 30 years of artistry are reflected in this exceptional half horn utility. It is fairly rare for Nordic makers to make sole authorship knives. Here, CarlMichael shows his devotion to sole authorship work, from the sheath, to forging the damascus and making the blade, to all the handle work.
This knife is a traditional Sami style known as a half horn. The handle combines reindeer antler with mammoth ivory and birch. The reindeer antler on the handle and sheath has been engraved with a traditional Scandinavian basket weave pattern.
CarlMichael began making the blade by forging a detailed explosion pattern damascus from 15N20 and 20C carbon steels.
The knife fits securely into a traditional style Swedish sheath of engraved reindeer antler, mammoth ivory, and leather. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
