Michal Melichercik, traditional shepherd knives

Two traditional shepherd’s knives.
Worth mentioning is the one made of carbon Damascus steel. The handle is made from wood that I had overlooked for years, even though I had it right under my nose the whole time. Cytisus scoparius. It is an inconspicuous shrub, known more for its flowers. The wood is medium-hard and has very dense annual growth rings.
