templehound Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 This is my ode to the forest that cleanses the heart and mind better than anything else. I made the 190 mm long blade from German tool steel 1.2552(80WCrV8), copper and Ceylon ironwood on the handle and the sheath, 330 mm overall length.

Will, with a piece of tool steel(20x10mm) and a checkering file, I made a stamp.I punched it into a copper stripe, which I formed into a ferrule and soldered it from the inside.
