Maik Salzmann Basic auf 350 mL

Basic

Simple knife for general use. Spring steel from Gransfors  drawknife, damascus guard made from old raiload nail and railway  connection screw spring, hickory handle.

 

 

Parsberg

Knife after the find of Parsberg, Germany. The original may be  enjoyed in "Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nürnberg". Unluckily it was not  more specifically dated then "La Tène Period", which is almost the last  500 years BC. The design is similar to others from the 1.century BC,  compare Wederath. The original blade was bigger and heavier, the rivet  hole positions were still visible. It seemed to me like an everyday tool and weapon if necessary.

I kept the proportions but made it smaller and lighter so it serves very well as kitchen knife with a  thin edge but is still servicable for other light work.

C 105 clay hardened for hamon, better visible on next picture. Handle  american nut with copper rivets. Length overall 370 mm, max blade height 44 mm, handle length 125 mm. Weight 290 g, balance point is near my  mark
