The Gold Knife

A commission for a lovely gentleman who wanted a souvenir of his visit to Australia & requested the blade incorporate Australian materials.

The feature of this blade is the natural gold nuggets that decorate the pommel and the space between handle and blade. The guard and butt cap are antique wrought iron from the Goldfields in Western Australia, the same area the nuggets were found. The handle is red mallee burl. The sheath is veg-tanned leather inlaid with snakeskin.
