Cold Steel Mayhem maple handle scales - Vegvisir X Viking Black / hand-painted

Style features

The Vegvísir (“wayfinder”) is a famous Icelandic magical stave, often called the Viking compass. Modern Viking warrior culture and tattoos link it to Norse fighters, believing it guided them safely through storms and unknown seas. In reality, the symbol comes from an 1860 Icelandic manuscript and has no direct Viking Age evidence

Vikings were fierce Norse seafarers, warriors, traders, and explorers from Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) during the Viking Age (793–1066 AD). Famous for longships, raids across Europe, and settlements from Iceland to Russia, they shaped medieval history with legendary voyages and sagas

Why wood, not G10 or micarta?

Wood offers greater comfort, warmth, and aesthetic satisfaction. Wood is lighter and more pleasant to hold. Wooden scales are best suited for customization and hand finishing. Or perhaps made from G10 and micarta. Why not?
