The Viking Blacksmith confirms attendance at Fair!

Jens Christian Pilgaard is from Denmark and started tying flies in 1986. Then in 1995 he thought it would be fun to participate in Mustad Scandinavian Open tying contest and did so for the next 3 seasons. He was fortunate enough to achieve some bronze, silver and a single Gold medal.
Since then he has been tying flies at shows in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, UK and USA. He likes to tie with Origami Wings for dry flies, superrealistics and nymphs but is also very fond of tying the old classic salmon flies.

Besides fly-tying, he makes a living out of forging Viking items like swords, axes and other things that can be forged by hand. He makes knives and Viking silver jewelry and a million other things related to Viking age www.knifeblades.dk
