Vintage aged Stag Nessmuk with Copper

This weeks latest addition of custom work is a nessmuk knife.

This nessie has a pattern and patina aged blade at about 4 1/8"
inches long.

The handle is antiqued stag with three vintage copper pins.
The copper pins have been left with hammer (peen) marks
and have a beautiful vintage look and feel.

The sheath was hand stitched and antiqued in a
darker brown.

Also:  Some current tooled leather work in case you missed seeing this
on my Available Leather Pieces Page
This was all carved and tooled from one of my original drawings.
A lighter carry wallet for cards and cash.
I update this page all the time so keep checking for more unique
pieces.
