Hello folks! I have just finished this cutting iron that I called #380. Total lenght is 360 mms, blade is 222 mms x 7 mms. Stainless steel 440C personally tempered to 60 HRC. Mirror finished + filework, fittings are brass and the handle is brasilian aroeira burl + ebony. Leather sheath (3,5 mms) + snake inlay, do you like it? Cordially, Stefano

Every thing looks very good to me. I'm not a fan of brass, but like the patina you gave it. That wood is beautiful.

Thank you very much Keith, yes, I am agree with you: I do not love too much the brass, so I make the patina that it makes also it more stable in the time and more beautiful! Hi, cordially, Stefano

I am always impressed when I see knifemakers take a piece of steel and a piece of wood and make it into a work of art....This would be a knife I would pass on to my children and grandchildren....Very nice work....It would not look out of place in an art museum.
