Murag Mora Bushcraft Knife

I tried to design a knife myself but I am not a skilled blacksmith. I wanted a knife that looks scandinavian-ish but it is very expensive to get a high carbon steel one. So there, I created the Murag-Mora (Mora Lookalike). 
Drawn by hand together with her brothers

 Drawn by hand, I took my design to the local blacksmith somewhere in Carigara, Leyte and have it forged.
Finished Product

 With 1059 leaf spring steel, and carabao (water buffalo) horn for the handle, the Murag Mora was born! Although it is not a full tang, it is still reliable, I still have to do a field test.

 I tried to polish it to appear great!
Polished sides with forced patina on top part

Next time ill try to show you the sheath.. but bye for now...
