A new carving knive.




This Cristmas I have used some time carving a pair of spoons, and one of them is inspired from a found nearby from a bournd down Ironage house from just around Christ, this spoon was so well preserved when it was found 80 years ago, that a god woodcarver conected to Heltborg Museum, Carsten Nielsen, some years ago made a copy of the original there are at the National Museum in Copenhagen.

We have been using this spoon a lot in ower ironage village, and it´s more and more butyfull after all this use. The top of the handle is very special formed, and when I came to this part of the carving I cut see that i neded a knive looking like the wellknow curved knives from the Ironage. Some time ago a forged this small blade, a replica of the comom form of knive used in the Ironage in Denmark, and I put a handle on made of elm, and just carved it in the form i wanted, and sealed it in a mix of linsead oil and beewax, - and this is the results, and it work well, as I thought.
