Knivsmedning

Those of you who are fishing or hunting knows the true value of being the owner of a good knife. Some of you might have a nice handforged knife or even a knife with a beautiful pattern-welded Damascus-blade.

First time I saw these blades I became truly fascinated and decided to learn the forging technique myself. I learned my first forging skills from a Norwegian 3. generation knife-smith, and since 1995 I have been working on improving these skills. I now own my own workshop where I run seminars and forge all kinds of things besides knives, swords, Viking stuff, weathervanes, gamehooks, candle holders etc. etc.

Price on 3-ply laminated knife blades starts at 200 dkk and up. Damascus blades cost approx. 100 dkk per centimeter blade ( Tang/Angel is not measured )

I run seminars in knife-forging and knife-making so please take a look under " seminar calendar"on the FrontPage or at the menu bar under "introduction".

De som fisker har som regel ogs� en god kniv. Mange har m�ske endda en fin norsk h�ndsmedet kniv i m�nstersmedet Damask st�l. F�rste gang jeg s� disse knive blev jeg dybt fascineret af deres sk�nhed, og besluttede mig for at l�re denne smedeteknik. Gennem en norsk 3. generations knivsmed fik jeg l�rt at smede knive og har siden arbejdet med denne sp�ndende proces siden 1995. Jeg har egen smedje, hvor jeg kan smede b�de knive, sv�rd og gamle smedejerns ting, s�som vejrhaner, vildtkroge, gadespejle, lysestager med meget mere.

Priserne p� h�ndsmedede knive varierer fra 200 kr. for et 3-lags laminatblad og opad. For Damask st�lblade er prisen cirka 100 kr. pr centimeter.

Jeg laver aftenskole- og weekendkurser i knivfremstilling og smedning. Tag et kik p� vores kursus kalender p� forsiden eller menuen p� introduktions siden
