Animals of the Wood

An exclusive all-round Nordic hunting and fishing knife in black and white horn. 23 cm. long.

JSC Knife #354(b) - Animals of the Wood

The task was to create a knife for all-round use, one that would be practical while also providing a sense of beauty. I placed slices of bronze and aluminum with some additional file-work between the pieces of horn. The scrimshaw designs feature two animals very different in size; an ant hiding in the leaves and a stag roaring toward the sky.

Deer Hunter

This custom deer hunting knife was a unique challenge. The goal was to create a cohesive design—with the entire handle looking as if it was made from a single material—combined with the practicality of a traditional and highly functional hunting tool.

JSC Knife #288(c) - Deer Hunter

For the assignment I selected a piece of beech wood with a delicate touch of rot; the color perfectly matched the pieces of mammoth tusk I had in stock. The leather sheath was dyed to complete the uniform look and I incorporated a stamped pattern known as an American folding design. No more ornamentation was required and the look is unique yet simple.

Knife blade: Damascus Björkman Twist pattern. Length 9.5 cm.
Metal grinder: Jørn Sønderskov Christensen.
Knife handle: Beech with rot and mammoth tusk.
Knife sheath: Compressed leather.
Date created: April 2015
Item identifier: Model no. 288

Scrimshaw Deer

The custom Scrimshaw Deer hunting knife was a unique challenge; merging the distinct materials of buffalo and mammoth with the forged steel blade made by skilled craftsman Mattias Styrefors from Sweden. The goal was to create a cohesive overall design expressed in a practical hunting tool.

JSC Knife #304(e) - Scrimshaw Deer

The idea for a scrimshaw design came to me during a walk in a local forest that was known to be the home of a spectacular white deer. The elusive animal was captured by a photographer friend of mine one very early morning, and rumor has it that the deer is still running in the woods along with several of his calves.

Drawing on the inspiration that nature provides is an enjoyable way to compose my knife designs. Buffalo horn or mammoth tusk are rare materials—definitely not native to Denmark—but I appreciate the opportunity to use such beautiful and sustainably sourced products in a modern composition.

Knife blade: Forged steel with pattern. Length 11 cm.
Metal smith: Mattias Styrefors, Sweden.
Knife handle: Buffalo horn, aluminum, spacer, and mammoth tusk.
Knife sheath: Compressed leather and silver.
Date created: April 2016
Item identifier: Model no. 304
