Okay--This is a letter opener I built and engraved. Blade is 1060 IIRC. Hardened and drawn back to spring temper. Polished and inlaid with 24 K. gold. Touch-up polish then into hot bluing tank. This accentuated the grain in the steel for an interesting pattern. Coffin handle bolsters are ATS-34 stainless. Scales are ironwood. Engraving is hand drawn then cut with a 105 degree tool--chasing hammer and chisel.
