A year or so ago a neighbor took me to a metal scrap place where I noticed some copper bars probably used in some electrical facility. I knew copper was expensive and at some point I would figure out a use for the copper. Recently blenheimforge came out with some copper handles steak knives and that triggered me to explore the use of copper. Copper is a bit heavy so I had to light weight machine the backsides to relieve some material weight.

Western shaped handle of reclaimed copper, backside relieved to reduce weight. However this is still weighty knife overall. Hammer peened surface. Rough Scotchbrite finish

The knife is rustic all around and intended to evoke a vintage look and feel about it.
