Meet Jake Powning. I just ran across this extremely interesting fellow’s website not long ago and I keep coming back to it. He’s a bladesmith living in rural New Brunswick (Markhamville, I think) and his work is just incredible. He makes swords, daggers, knives and walking sticks in the Celtic and Norse traditions, with intricate detail and consummate skill.
Even if you’re not a sword freak like me, check out his work….it’s wonderful art, and sharp too!
Really sharp display. I particularly like the $525 (gulp) walking stick and some of the swords and daggers. I’ve done a little fencing in my youth, but these have to be handled in a totally different manner than I am used to.
What are your favourites from the site?
