little wolf

[GHEzell]

I forged this blade around 2 years ago, during my experiments with achieving a 'wolfstooth' weld. The wolfstooth is often seen on viking era spears and seaxes, which this knife is based on, though more Saxon than viking... I heat-treated the blade, then laid it aside, and promptly forgot about it until the other day...

The blade is 4 3/8" long, composed of 1095 (some of Aldo's old batch with the vanadium) and wrought iron joined together in a wolfstooth weld. The handle is masur birch, and the overall length is a hair over 9 inches. The sheath is made from leather, bronze, and brass. Not much else to say about it, other than I'm glad it is done. There are lots of pictures because I couldn't decide which were my favorites...

Thanks for looking.
