JP 100
Blade: Julius Pettersson
Handle: Stainless steel bolster and Australian Cypress Pine
Sheath: 2mm Veg Tanned Cow Hide
This blade was gift from my wife a couple of years ago, but only now have I had the chance to properly fit a handle worthy of this great blade. Julis Pettersson is a bladesmith based in southern Sweden; we found the blade after seeing his work featured on an episode of 'Bushcraft Series 2' by Ray Mears. The episode shows Julius forging the blade from scratch in his workshop, this guy is the real deal. The Blade itself is stamped with his initials on one side and Ray Mears' 'RM' logo on the other.
The blades are available online from Ray's website here, and you can buy the DVD series here.
