The man with the wooden shoes strikes again!

One of your nicest so far Erik... and you already made a lot of nice knives!

Maybe you should post a "WIP" on the wooden shoes... are there still people around who make them by hand? Or are they all factory made?

Kind regards,

Jos

PS> have fun in Sweden!

Most are factory made these days though most of them were made on a machine for thr last 50 years or so.
There was some one near me who made them by hand but he stopped making them about 10 years ago.
What is your mail adress and shoe size? I will send you a pair. Do you prefer willow or poplar? Willow is more waterproof but wears faster.

Thank you all for your nice comments!

Finished the sheath this afternoon.
The knife stays in the sheath when shaken upsidedown wich I think is very important.
It has a beltloop for vertical and cross draw carry.
