Lauri 120

This knife would be my first one. I decided to use a Scandi style blade, but I didn't want to use a short one (8-9 cm), so I chose this Lauri 120 blade (12 cm long). The bolster is made of aluminum (at the time I did the knife I didn't have any thicker brass, copper or nickel silver). The darker wood is oak. The middle part of the handle is made out of Black Locust. The spacers are copper and leather. I glued the handle with epoxy.

 The sheath is made of vegetable tanned leather. It is pretty thick - about 4 mm. I didn't make a belt loop, as I don't like to wear a knife in sight. As this should be a bushcraft knife, it can be carried in the backpack.

I forgot to mention the handle has about 3 coats of linseed oil on it.
