I really like the brass rod inlay! Are they basically just washerless peened brass rod? Great idea - haven't seen anything like it before. I'm working on a 7 day E A Berg - got 2 so far.

Beautiful work, Virr - on a blade worthy of beautiful work!

Those scales are gorgeous. Great job. Are the others going to get the same treatment?

Those scales are fantastic. A really beautiful job.

Nice job & no need for a 7 day set. 3 is plenty. With good Swedish steel you only need shave every 2nd day

thank you! Yes, basically, but i haven't peened them. I took a file and scorched them in the middle( they are cut from a longer rod of course, scorched beforce cutting) and then used epoxy. That was the second step, i cut them to a rough shape before to be able to sand the brass and acrylic in one step.

E A Berg you say? Hard to come bye in the us? you should try tradera.se. Berg are one of the most common brands there. Good luck with the kit!
@Whavens - Yes i think so. But im going to try smaller rods and do something more intricate.

Is there a way to switch Tradera.se to English? My grandfather came from Sweden, but unfortunately the language is not genetic. My brother speaks it - he is a college professor and teaches Swedish History.
