[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 544401, member: 1365"] Your Nordic style Mora is traditionally made. Probably Udderholm Silver Steel which sharpens very keen. If you just strop it with a fine compound it will stay sharp. They often used leather discs or birch bark that had a small center hole...stacked ‘em onto the rat tail with glue between the discs...compressed the stack...then put on a metal butt cap and peened the rat tail onto the cap. Very secure. Then after all that they shaped the discs and applied sealing compound. The birch bark handled ones are light as a feather. I’ve made knives this way...still have one I did with a Dessert Ironwood handle carved into a horse head (VERY traditional) and a classic Lammi hand forged blade. It’s my precious. [/QUOTE]
