This is a new knife from very old steel I found in the woods, leaf spring steel from an old carriage or something, selective temper, high convex bevel, copper ferrule, stag antler from the flea market and a citrate fit into the pommel.

Very pleasing design, and even more importantly, I like where you got your materials. The look of the final product is important, but the flavor comes from the ingredients and their source. :)
