your plan is more or less what I did.
I bought the blade from brisa.com
I found the wood (cherry) in the wood shed at my parents place in sweden. And started carving with a chisel.
I took it home to glue up and finish.For wood, I'd ask a local for a suitable piece of firewood. Lots of birch around.
And thanks for your comment. I've fixed the asymmetri and started wet sanding now so it is pretty crisp.

I know the thread is called knife porn though it seems to just be the general knife thread here so i just wanted to ask a quick question.
This summer i am going to sweden for a 10 day canoeing trip and was thinking about making a set of knifes; well have lots of spare time. I was thinking of buying the blades here and taking them with me and cutting, staining and fitting the handles in there (there'll be plently of trees there so no need to worry about wood). I'd probably be able to take a hand drill with me and obviously a mora.
Anyone who's made a knife, is this a plausible idea and where would one buy the blades (cheap as possible)?
Also was thinking of doing a set of three small knifes for different purposes. I was thinking of doing a sheep foot blade, a pull blade and a warncliff blade though was wondering if there wee=re any three conventional blades to go for set wise?
