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 også en god kniv. Mange har måske endda en fin norsk håndsmedet kniv i mønstersmedet Damask stål. Første gang jeg så disse knive blev jeg dybt fascineret af deres skønhed, og besluttede mig for at lære denne smedeteknik. Gennem en norsk 3. generations knivsmed fik jeg lært at smede knive og har siden arbejdet med denne spændende proces siden 1995. Jeg har egen smedje, hvor jeg kan smede både knive, sværd og gamle smedejerns ting, såsom vejrhaner, vildtkroge, gadespejle, lysestager med meget mere.

Priserne på håndsmedede knive varierer fra 200 kr. for et 3-lags laminatblad og opad. For Damask stålblade er prisen cirka 100 kr. pr centimeter.

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