Turkish walnut has an appealing color and is suitable for the checkered design that provides the basis for the excellent grip. Turkish walnut is very often used as the wooden part of a hunting gun where you have the same need for a reliable grip. The scrimshaw area consists of two small pieces of reindeer horn with just enough space for two small scorpions as dangerous as the knife is sharp. To protect the knife blade I made a new type of sheath with a better fit around the knife itself. As sheath decoration I added a delicate piece of lizard skin.

To prevent ones hand from slipping on the handle, I decided to carve an entire area of in a  checkered area for a better grip. The sheath is a regular Nordic style made from semi-tanned leather with additional air brush paint applied in a faded design.
