Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / knife sheath making
Norwegian term or phrase: smöyd (stropp)
Text about knife-making. This term is a sub-heading in a chapter on "slirestropper" or knife straps. It's a type of hanger (oppheng) to attach to the sheath. I know that "stropp" is "strap", but don't know what the first word means.
