SPECIAL KNIVES
|
|
Some people have the need for a special knife. I have made some out of due to my own experiences, and of course after the wishes of others. These are chosen because they are either extremely practical or have a special function.

THE HOBBY KNIFE / MUSHROM KNIFE
|
|
DEMONSTRATION KNIFE Price various.
This is a demonstration knife that is also made by special order, and is priced at between 800 and 1200 NOK. A small knife that will fit into a jacket pocket, or that will lay still on the workbench. It is small and compact and is great for the all round hobby enthusiast. It is also a great knife for children who are learning how to use a knife properly.
Take it with you wherever you may go, it will fit into a wash kit, and is great to have at a BBQ party. This is the most important piece of equipment in spring (when you collect the first Birch twigs) and great in autumn when it is time to collect mushrooms. The Ladies Favourite!
Shaft: Flammed Maple. Blade; "Brusletto" stainless steel, 7cm/2,7inch.

FLY FISHERMANS KNIFE
|
|
DEMONSTRATION KNIFE Made by special order. Price: 2500 NOK
It is a knife for the enthusiast. A serious (and not to mention hooked fisherman), will clean the fish whilst standing in the river. He will open the stomach to assess what the diet of his prey was, before carefully selecting the appropriate fly for his next cast.
It is therefore great to have a razor sharp knife between your teeth and a sheath fixed to you kit back by a button. The shaft material is especially chosen, but you can personalize it should you wish. Please contact me so that this can e discussed. Most things are possible, but not all things!
Shaft; Curly Birch. Best quality. Blade; Altered old razor blade. 7cm/2,7inch

THE OBO KNIFE
|
|
Price :750 NOK. In stock.
The musicians who play on the obo and bassoon makes the sound on the instrument with a small tube made of a splinter of bamboo. These can be bough ready to use but are often made by the musicians themselves. The bamboo shoot is split, planned whittled and scraped into the correct shape. Finishing requires a very sharp blade that will not make marks in the tube, as this will affect the sound that is given out.
This knife I made after discussions with a Norwegian musician and a Swedish music teacher.
Shaft; Flammed Maple Blade; Altered old razor blade. Length vary about 4,5-7cm/1,7-2,7inch.
