Sheffield sheep shears from long ago, a lot of cutting and grinding, and I went with a forced patina with some mustard and lime juice. Walnut burl handle and had to get creative on how to attach the handle with brass pins. I'm still on the fence if it's ugly or not, but it sure fits in the hand nice and those sheep shears have new life.

X2 I don't make knives to sell, I make them for friends, family and myself. I think if I sold them it would be more like work rather than fun.
