Artist's Comments
Carving is about Jörmungandr or Midgard serpent (one of three Loki's most famous offspring) trying to eat a lonely viking ship. Legend says that this horrible creature will crawl out of the ocean during Ragnarok and poison the skies. Eventually he will be killed by Thor who gets himself lethally poisoned while doing that.
I had to finish this knife in a hurry so it contains some flaws that i would have wanted to avoid or do a bit better. Bladesteel should be böhler K990 (i think) and handlewood is palisander. I blued the blade to make it look more like a sea but i think i should have cleaned the blade more carefully. The temp was about 240-250 degrees C. Again i managed to cut myself before i completed the blade because i forgot a that i sharpened it just few moments ago Pattern on the blade is etched in HNO3 (18% solution) 1.5 hours and the fitting is etched in FeCl3 (1/4 solution in water) 3.5 hours. I wanted deep etch and it came out about as i wanted.

And tusked like the great Cave Bear;
And you, my sweet, from head to feet,
Were gowned in your glorious hair.
