Description
This knife was inspired from the Baltic Way or Baltic Chain (Chain of freedom)- the event where in 1989 people from all three Baltic states joinded hands in protest against Soviet occupation. It had been 50 years when Russia and Nazy Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact on 23. august 1939 - just weeks before they jointly attacked Poland. About two miljon people formed the human chain all the way from Tallinn to Riga to Vilnius 675 kilometers in total length. Within 2 years from the protest all three nations regained their independence - an era that is now referred as Singing Revolution. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KoKq2… "Wake up Baltic states" - a song sang in all three languages.Handle is made from stabilized linden tree burl, brass fitting and blade is from Böhler-s Stenco Leuku steel.

As ever, your blade, guard, and grip, along with their associated fittings are works of art, especially how they come together.

I can't even guess in you engraved, cast (no way) or dremmeled the blade, best I could ever do myself was a fuller. The colors work great and the fitting seems like a tough job

Brass fitting is cast and yes - dremmel like tools were used on the engraving.
