Christmas Gift for my little brother

Of my three brothers, two of them have knives and the youngest one hasn't got one yet. The sad part about that is that my youngest brother is the one who gives me the steel I use to make knives. So I think he's waited long enough. This year for Christmas I made a point to finally give him his knife. 

I started a couple blades back in the spring, my hope was to have something finished by mid summer to give to my brother, but I only finished the forging of the blades. About 2 weeks ago I picked up where I left off and finally finished one of the two blades.

Here is the finished knife. 

The steel is spring steel which my brother gave me. I'm not sure of the exact make up of the metal, but it holds an edge well. I used Nickle/Silver for the guard and the handle is made from spalted beech from my parents firewood pile and black walnut from my brothers firewood pile. I made the leather sheath yesterday morning and it was still a little damp when I gave it to him. My sister-in-law, Michelle, helped to sew it up. She did a great job. 

He was thrilled to get it (finally) and I told him to not be afraid to use it.
