Tips

When fitting a handle, ensure the tang is fully bedded in epoxy to prevent moisture ingress. The Scandi grind is best maintained with a flat stone or diamond plate; avoid convexing the bevel unless you intend to modify the blade geometry. For a traditional look, consider a handle made from curly birch, stacked leather, or antler. Always test the blade's sharpness and edge retention on your intended materials before final assembly.
