One of my first forged blades, this was made from 1084 hi-carbon ag-steel. A hay rake tine to be exact. it incorporates a sterling end piece, steel pin, shed antler, nickel bolster and exotic hardwoods.
Rough forged utility knife.
The blade here was a piece of hay rake tine also. It has a blood-red Box-Elder burl spacers and handle, and a recycled copper bolster
