Norwegian style Brukskniv (belt knife) with a hand-stitched leather sheath.

This style is modeled after a Brukskniv (“for work”) which was an essential, everyday tool carried by all going back to the Viking Age.

Handle: Stabilized and green dyed Oregon Maple burl, stabilized Arizona Sycamore, Corian and pewter

Handcrafted by Scott Ostern of Ravn Kniv, based in Saginaw, Minnesota.

Scott has been designing and making Norwegian knives since 2012, utilizing techniques that he learned in a folk school setting. He uses various woods from around the world and decorative elements like pewter, brass, copper and synthetic stones in the handles. The sheaths are hand-stitched leather with soft deer lace lanyards. All blades are forged by Scandinavian makers. Each piece is one-of-a-kind!
