That is very nice indeed!!
I love the slim, elegant lines in combination with the textured and antiqued copper!
Great work!

Serge, have you done much in the way of using leather for your wrapped handles?
Although I like this knife a lot, I find the 'manufactured' look of the nylon cord to be overly distracting and to my eye it takes away from the 'naturally occurring' look you've got going on.

outstanding.
your sheathwork is excellent, I speak from the experience of having one on my belt every day. The metal bracket is a great concept, and a nice homage, fits in nicely with your Relic theme.

That copper is great! A very refined looking knife but with a rugged character. Very nice job, really.

Like I said I really like the knife
The sheath is vey well done but on a knife of this style even though I know you are not trying to be traditional I would prefer a more saya styled sheath
Something like PH used to do or like one of RJ's leather inside and out kydex sheaths.
Please don't take this as a negative just an opinion
