Follow allong video, An attempt of recreating the traditional methods used in history to create sheaths.
Traditionally they were used in North Scandinavia (Finland, Sweden, Norway, ...) by Sami, using natural materials that they could find close by.
Based on historical finds and medieval methods i forge these knives by hand, with minimalistic filing and grinding (clay stone) the knives are shaped.
The tang is burned through and riveted at the back as it should be.
On early types the top wasn't riveted but simply folded over and inserted back into the handle (they used to have wooden)
More information will follow in the next video's !
