Making The Bog Oak Knife

In this video I use a Poul Strande blade to construct a knife with a handle made of ancient Irish bog Oak.
The Bog Oak was a gift from my friend Alan Simpson.
Alan had it dated by dendrochronology and the rings were dated from AD992 to AD1266.

Poul Strande is a Danish knifemaker
