»Laurin« Knife Making Kit, Carbon Steel, Blade Length 125 mm

With the »Laurin« knife kit, you can create your own Scandinavian hunting and outdoor knife featuring exceptional handle material. Blade with rustic forged skin made of 80CrV2 carbon steel, not rustproof. Hardened to 58 HRC. The blades still require polishing and sharpening. The knife handle material is made of a brass bolster and end cap, a buffalo horn roll as a decorative intermediate element, and »Mutenye« olive wood instead of the masur birch typically used in Scandinavian knives. Wild Olive »Mutenye« is a hard, dense heartwood with a lively grain. The natural oil content makes it particularly resistant to water and dirt. The olive wood blanks are relatively fresh and must therefore be processed under controlled drying conditions (instructions are included). Epoxy adhesive, e.g. No. 450379, is recommended for glueing the handle materials.
