Traditional Scandinavian knives are all or mostly stick tang, and the tang is centered on the blade. However, this is a result of the handle usually being straight with a slight belly and often consisting of more than one material or piece. So the straight tang goes at least into the last piece...

That looks great! And feels good getting to make a "oh oh" into a nice knife, for sure.

The above was a set for my parents in law

I don't think there is a "Scandinavian traditional chef knife style" as such. Or if there is, I have never seen one. This is just my own little design of one, drawing on the Scandinavian style of straight blade back and a more standard chef blade width than a normal puuko style. It started as...

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

After epoxying on the scales, I shape them to the profile of the handle first. Then start rounding to final shape, and thinning the front section towards the tang. I find making a sleeve of cardboard is better than just a couple of layers of masking tape. As if (when) I touch the blade to the...

I was going for a bit of a beard but that was as far as I got :) Basically forged the eye in by hand and by then I was worn out. Had to wait to another time to clean it up a bit and start drawing out the blade. Then when cold, I drew on a shape I liked and ground it to the way it looks now.

Hei! har 5-6 "projekt" på gang som ikke er sikkert noen gang blir ferdige :) Er morsommere å smi noe nytt om dagen enn å bruke flere dager på å gjøre ferdig bladene, så går tregt. Lager litt kjøkken kniver.
