Keyhole utility
I forged this blade from a single block of 1084 carbon steel, the sculpted handle is a beautiful piece of ringed Gidgee with three pins vertical pins . There were many challenges along the way - the end result was definitely worth the battle.
The sheath is constructed from premium Italian leather with a full thickness welt, the inlay is crocodile. Hand stitched, hand dyed and hand burnished edges.
You can't make a keyhole handle without paying tribute to the legendary inventor - ABS MS Rodrigo @r.sfreddoknives, also a big thanks to ABS MS Jackson @rumble_knives who offered some much needed guidance after my 4th handle failure. Happily the 5th attempt was a success.
Blade is 240g - 150x 35mm blade with a 5.5mm spine.
