I like to carve spoons and decided I would make my next knife rather than purchase.  Just finish this small sloyd style carving knife with a 2.5 inch 52100 blade. Handle is desert iron wood burl with a shibuichi and buffalo horn ferrule.  The shibuichi is a copper and silver alloy.  It is homemade and water cast and since I don't have a rolling mill, flattened by annealing and hammering ( many, many times).

Just gorgeous wood..nicely executed handle work.

Beautiful work.

That is very cool! nice work!!

Thanks, that means a lot coming from you!
