The guard is Nickel Silver, the handle is Blackwood, any suggestions for the ferrule? Omit? Wrought Iron? More Nickel Silver? The plan is a grooved single piece.

Without really knowing better... I really think wrought iron could look very cool. In my slipjoints, I have some with nickel silver construction and some with steel construction - I think they make for an interesting contrast. NS being bright, with an almost yellow hue in certain light, and steel being cold with a dull blue-gray look to it.
The transition from dark Blackwood, to wrought iron (that would darken with age and use), into the bright nickel silver could make for a really cool look.
But then again, maybe I'm just imagining things...
