About silver Inlay
Silver Inlay was a method used from antiquity onwards all around Eurasia. There are some beautiful examples found from the Vikings, including the Mammen Axe. The white of the silver offers a wonderfully contrasting effect and was highly regarded as decoration on weapons and the finest tools that where made on steel or iron. The silver is not held in place by solder or any adhesive. The softer metal is pushed into a deeply engraved, undercut groove and hammered in.

What can I have inlaid or engraved
The method and the space set some limitations on what can be inlaid. Individual runes, or simple bindrunes lend themselves very nicely for this. Complex symbols such as the Vegvisir or aegishjalmur won't fit. If you are unsure about what what you want, please send us a message.
I can also build a bindrune for you, but please bear in mind that my interpretation of the symbols tends to be a little different from the mainstream. A bindrune is a personal symbol built from the existing runes. Because of the personal and unique nature of a custom built bindrune, you have more say in its interpretation than a commonly or widely used symbol.
