Handmade Oskoreia knife blade by Bladepoint
In ancient Norse mythology, Oskoreia was the Wild Hunt of Odin.
According to legend, Odin would ride across the skies accompanied by a large group of soul ravaging hunters. As the party drew closer the forests would go silent, and the only sounds would be a whining sound accompanied by barking from Odins dogs. To avoid the danger of being swept into the hunting party, one was supposed to throw a piece of iron or steel on the ground as an offering.
The will to hunt is stronger in some, and legend also speaks of those who sought to join the Oskoreia. Witches and Wildlings, forest people and huntsmen wanted to participate in the endless hunt. The hunt for gold, food, thrill or just your place in nature.
Where does your heart lay; Will you throw your steel or join the Oskoreia?
The Bladepoint Oskoreia is designed and handmade by Kaj-Mikael Storbacka, founder of Bladepoint. The design is inspired by traditional minimalist Nordic puukkos, but as a stronger and more modern fulltang construction. The scandi zero grind on the Oskoreia is 24 degrees, making this knife extremely capable in woodwork, Bushcraft and various camping chores. Choice of steel fell on 80CrV2 because of its tenacity. Being officially classed as a spring steel, I utilize the flexibility by keeping the handle at a lower hardness than the blade. This means that the area with the highest stress is also the area with the most flexibility.
