From the maker: "A new family heirloom finished. This is the project I've been working on the passed 4 weeks. It is to be presented to my clients new wife on their wedding day! He is of Scottish heritage, and she is of Norwegian descent.
The Groom wanted me to combine the two cultures into one piece. This is why there is more of a Nordic twist to the carvings on the dirks sheath. Something they wish to pass on to there first born. I am so thankful for projects like this! There isn't anything I'd rather do."

That's some awesome carving there. I couldn't imagine the time and patience that it took to complete that.
